We all agreed that desktop printers are good for printing virtually all office documents with panache, but electronic circuits? Now that the new idea. UK researchers have successfully developed the experimental device, which comes with a cargo of silver salt solution and vitamin C, resulting in the ability of the device for the production of electronic circuits. The very same group of researchers argue that the device when production and use on a large scale will be able to provide a safer and cheaper method of manufacture and all things electronic. Printing an entire fee is certainly a good omen for the silicon industry, where current methods are energy intensive and polluting.


Using standard HP printer with a cargo of a special solution consists of metallic salts and water, the printer churns from a template, as well as reducing agent printed for the victory in order to establish a solid silver form. This decision is 100% water, resulting in the much more environmentally friendly process. Silver nitrate is the solution of choice for metallic paint, while ascorbic acid, better known as vitamin C, is the reduction agent. The printer is more than capable of producing a wide range of channels and radio antennas across a wide range of surfaces from cotton and acetate on paper.

The first tests were successful, where one of them involved antenna design, like those in the cell phone in the transparent film, which led to its ability to bend almost double while maintaining conductivity. This ink jet technology will certainly open up new opportunities, to make all kinds of devices possible, but this will be a fairly rigid trying to compete with existing technologies so many challenges facing them. Perhaps in another 10 years, my good doctor.
