Articles, conductive ink, and methods of making articles

Abstract

Articles comprise a substrate and a conductive film disposed on a surface of the substrate. The conductive film comprises a volume resistivity in a range from about 0.01 Ohm-centimeters to about 10-3 Ohm-centimeters. The conductive film comprises a pencil hardness of about 8H or more. The conductive film comprises a scratch resistance of about 3 Newtons or more. Methods of forming articles comprise disposing a conductive ink on a surface of the substrate. Methods comprise heating the conductive ink at a first temperature from about 100° C. to about 250° C. for a first period of time to form a conductive film. The conductive ink comprises a conductive filler, a reactive, silane-containing binder, and a solvent.
