Solventless Conducting Paste Based on Graphene Nanoplatelets for Printing of Flexible, Standalone Routes in Room Temperature
Novel printable composites based on high aspect ratio graphene nanoplatelets (GNPs), fabricated without using solvents, and at room temperature, that can be employed for flexible, standalone conducting lines for wearable electronics are presented. The percolation threshold of examined composites was...
