Abstract

The functionality of an effective metal NPs based ink in inkjet printing depends on its ability to achieve high mass concentration as well as suitable rheological properties for stable printability. In this work, AuNPs synthesized by USP were successfully formulated in inks of varying [Au] using PVP40 as stabilizer and DI water as solvent. The influence of the increasing [Au] on the rheological, flow and wetting behavior were investigated for requisite printable characteristics. Thermo-physical characterization was carried out on the optimized concentrated AuNPs ink using TGA, DLS, SEM and EDX techniques.
