Abstract

A study reports the development of a new copolymer ink strategy that allows high-speed and low-temperature printing of metal electrodes. The key-enabling feature is the new bi-functional copolymer, which is designed to incorporate UV reactive ligands for selfcrosslinking and surface grafting, as well as metal-platable side groups for electroless deposition (ELD) of metal. The new copolymer, poly(4-methacryloyl benzophenone- co - 2-methacryloyloxy ethyltrimethylammonium chloride) [P(MBPco-METAC)], has been made via a simple and highly scalable two-step synthesis.
