Abstract

In recent years, inkjet printing has become an important technology for many applications, such as organic electronics, nanotechnology, and tissue engineering, on account of its ability to precisely deposit pico litre volumes of solutions or suspensions, including polymers and metal nanoparticles, in well-defined patterns [1]. In this work we focus on the electrical performance of PEDOT:PSS conductors inkjet printed onto natural rubber latex and the effect of mechanical deformation on conductor integrity and electrical performance. 1.
