| Summary: | Printing is offering the feasibility of producing mass quantities of a wide variety of electronic
components and devices quickly and at lower cost. Flexography is mainly used for packaging applications, but is also poses a potential method for the micro manufacture of electronic devices, smart packaging and RFID. The
flexographic printing process poses as an attractive candidate for printing electronics for its high speed printing
capabilities where such volume and large active areas need to be printed. Therefore an investigation for its
potential usage in printing electronics are highly in demand hence a research for suitable conductive ink related to
this process is vital. Multiple fine solid lines of high quality are essential to enable printing of ink tracks for
electronic applications. A step by step approach by printing multiple solid lines, measurements of printing plates
and printed images and finite element analysis (FEA) need to be carried out in advance to help comprehending this
process that is influenced by many interacting parameters. Plate characteristics are among a number of process
parameters that will influence print line quality, which will affect the electrical performance of printed tracks.
Printing trials have also been carried out in comparison various ink to check the compatibility and the suitability of
the ink developed for printing RFID antennas. |
