Abstract
In this experiment, we have manufactured thermal-curable silver pastes for direct printing. And to enhance conductivity, printability, adhesion and hardness during polymer direct-gravure prints, we have manufactured Ag pastes by adding variety of filter contents. Then we have investigated characteristics of rheology in paste according to the gravure printability and the properties of printed conductive patterns. Depending on a variety of Ag powder, there was a big difference in sharpness of printed pattern. And also by the use of carbon, there was a big difference in amount of solvent used, conductivity and in hardness. We could improve doctoring and the sharpness of a pattern by adding Ag paste in carbon particle, but as we have used nano-sized particle, there was an increase in the amount of solvent used and also we have found out that it gives a bad effect as adhesive and hardness becomes weaker. Even though Ag particle has the same spherical shape, the surface treatments could differ from one another. And by the appropriate choice and with the suitable combination of Ag powder, excellent printability and conductivity could be obtained.
