The liquid metal-macromolecule printable ink is simple in component, convenient to prepare, good in printability and low in cost, and has a wide application prospect.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of liquid metal printing, in particular to a liquid metal preparation and printing method applied to flexible electronics. Background technique [0002] With the rapid development of the electronic information industry, flexible electronic devices with excellent environmental adaptability have received more and more attention. A key technology in flexible electronics manufacturing is the selection of conductive materials. Liquid metals, such as gallium-based alloys, are increasingly used in the field of flexible electronics due to their high conductivity, liquid flexibility and self-healing properties. [0003] There are three main approaches to fabricate flexible electronics using liquid metal as a conductive material: microfluidic infusion, stencil printing, and direct writing. The microchannel injection method requires multi-step operations to complete the fabrication of flexible electronic devices, which is compl...
