Screen Printable Functionalised Graphene Ink

Product News Wednesday, October 28, 2015: Haydale Ltd.

Haydale reports how its proprietary HDPlas® technology has been used to create functionalised Graphene Nanoplatelets (GNPs) that have been incorporated into a functional graphene ink, which has been developed for screen printing. The ink has been created with area printing applications in mind.

A recent report in Solid State Technology** details how a screen-printable functional graphene based ink, supplied by Goodfellow (www.goodfellowusa.com), performs better than many normal carbon-based ink, opening the door to innovative applications that require enhanced electrical conductivity, excellent adhesion on a range of substrates and high print resolution. Such applications are found in sensors, displays, printed electronics and electrodes.

Made with Haydale HDPlas® functionalised Graphene Nanoplatelets, the ink supplied to Goodfellow offers many advantageous distinguishing characteristics including good adhesion and flexibility (on appropriate substrates), is 100% organic-based (is non-tarnishing) and curable at low temperatures. Environmentally friendly, the ink can be modified for specific substrates applications or for a given application.
