Preparation and Application of Carbon Nanotubes Ink for Aerosol Jet Printing System

The paper deals with the carbon nanotubes ink preparation and its application for Aerosol Jetprinting system. Aerosol Jetprinter allows using wide range ofmaterials within the meaning of their viscosity, particle size or used solvents. The carbon allotropes (structurally different forms of carbon) are very remarkable materials and especially carbon nanotubes (CNT) and graphene are researchedfor their application in modern printed electronics. The aim of the research is to create a CNT dispersion (ink) which is Aerosol Jet printable, choose the best one and determine its parameters by creating and measuring fully printed CNT resistors. The microscopic inspection and resistivity measurement are presented.The paper deals with the carbon nanotubes ink preparation and its application for Aerosol Jetprinting system.
