[0046] By observing figure 1 It is known that water-dispersed liquid metals are used to form micro-nano droplets at room temperature (25°C) and vacuum conditions (-0.1MPa) for natural drying, and the surface tension formed under vacuum conditions increases, further increasing the capillary force generated during the drying process. The force will promote the fusion and sintering of liquid metal droplets, and a layer of liquid metal film will be formed on the glass substrate. The upper side of the film is dark gray, and the lower side close to the glass substrate is bright silvery white. This material can be used as a ...

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of liquid metal sintering and fusion, in particular to a method for inducing fusion and sintering of liquid metal micro-nano droplets by solvent evaporation. Background technique [0002] Liquid metal usually refers to a metal element or alloy with a melting point below 200°C, which perfectly combines the conductivity of metal and the fluidity of liquid. Commonly used liquid metals are gallium-based alloys (such as eutectic gallium-indium alloy: 74.5wt% Ga and 24.5wt% In, melting point ~ 15.8°C; eutectic gallium-indium-tin alloy: 62.5wt% Ga, 21.5wt% In and 16wt% Sn , melting point ~ 13.2°C; etc.). Liquid metals have excellent mechanical, thermal and electrical properties. In addition, its low toxicity and low viscosity also make it have broad application prospects in the fields of wearable sensor electronics, conductive composite materials, flexible displays, and intelligent electronic devices. The study ...
