For this process, mesh-based screens are used to selectively deposit inks onto substrates, only on areas where the screen is not made impermeable by a stencil. Circuits or sensors are created by depositing multiple layers of conductive inks (eg. Ag, carbon, PEDOT) in combination with non-conductive inks (eg. isolator, coatings,..).<\/p>\n<p><!-- wp:paragraph -->This printing method is a very cost-effective way to directly integrate electronics functionality on a wide range of substrates. Plastic films (PET, PC), glass, silicon and TPU are just a small grasp of the substrates that are suitable for screen printing.<\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>Membrane switches were one of the first printed electronics on the market, out there already for over 30 years. Simply said, they are produced by laminating adhesives and a graphic overlay on a flexible printed circuit layer.<\/p>\n<p>Nowadays high-precision, screen printing techniques are used to integrate many other functionalities, including <a href=\"http:\/\/www.quad-ind.com\/de\/gedruckte-elektronik\/gedruckte-sensoren\/\">sensors<\/a>, antennas, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.quad-ind.com\/de\/schnittstellen\/kapazitive-touchscreens\/\">touch controls<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.quad-ind.com\/de\/gedruckte-elektronik\/flexible-ptc-heizelemente\/\">heaters<\/a>; that find their way in sports &amp; healthcare wearables, automotive interiors, smart objects and many more.<\/p>\n<h4>Conclusion:<\/h4>\n<p>Printed electronics are clearly a key enabler to making daily objects smart.
