Description

Graphene has been employed for a variety of applications in the flexible electronics industry mainly because of its unique structure and properties. It has conductivity of 25000 S/m and is competitive in terms of other metallic nano-inks specially silver. Many new materials such as giant graphene oxide and nanopletelets are being tried for conductive inks. Non-toxicity and stability are the new attributes incorporated in graphene inks to increase their adoption potential in the next few years.
