Specification 1.4.1 · Paper 1
Revise: Modern and Smart MaterialsConductive inks form electrical paths on surfaces rather than using only separate metal wires. Conventional inks contain conducting metal or carbon particles mixed with binders that hold the material together. Silver is one conducting metal used.
