Abstract
Printing techniques that enable the formation of arbitrarily designed architectures have been implemented in various research fields owing to their characteristic advantages in processing over other techniques. In particular, low-cost, printable conductors are of paramount importance in the production of highly functioning printed electronics. Among various candidates, copper (Cu) particle-based printable fluid has been regarded as the most promising constituent material in conjunction with the use of the laser sintering (LS) process in air. In this study, we incorporated surface-oxidation suppressed Cu nanoparticles and flakes to regulate the optical absorption characteristics in LS-processed, Cu-based printed conductors. Our results revealed that highly conductive, uniform Cu conductors can be generated with a conductivity of over 33,000 S/cm by printing and LS processes in air.
