Abstract

We have developed a conducting composite based on multi-walled carbon nanotubes and bisphenol A novolak epoxy resin (SU8) for inkjet printing purposes. We could deposit regular conducting stripes and arrays of 150 μm spots on glass and on flexible polyethylene terephthalate (PET) films. The UV and temperature processed structures show very good adhesion and reasonably good resistivity with a low concentration of carbon nanotubes. Our composite material for inkjet deposition is completely compatible with current MEMS fabrication processes.
