Abstract
Disclosed herein as a printing method and system which includes providing a substrate and depositing an interlayer composition including a polymer selected from the group of epoxy resins, polyvinyl phenols and poly(melamine-co-formaldehyde) and an interlayer composition solvent on the substrate. The interlayer composition is cured to form cured interlayer. A conductive metal ink composition is deposited on the cured interlayer and the conductive metal ink composition is cured to form a solid metal trace on the cured interlayer.
Claims12
A printing method comprising:
- depositing an interlayer composition comprising a polymer selected from the group consisting of:
- poly(propylene glycol) diglycidyl ether, propylene glycol methyl ether acetate, and poly(melamine co-formaldehyde), and an interlayer composition solvent on a substrate, wherein the substrate is selected from the group consisting of:
- glass, polylactic acid, acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS), nylon, polyetherimide, acrylonitrile styrene acrylate, ceramic, polystyrene, polyacrylate and polymethacrylate;
- curing the interlayer composition to form a cured interlayer;
- depositing a conductive metal ink composition on the cured interlayer;
- and
- curing the conductive metal ink composition to form a solid metal trace on the cured interlayer.
