Printing of silver nanowire traces. a) Aerosol jet printer head and cross-sectional schematic representation of printer nozzle. b) Sheet resistance values for silver nanowire films at 1, 2, and 3 print passes with various viscosity modifiers printed on glass. Error bars indicate one standard deviation as measured over 6 separate prints. c) Optical image of a printed silver nanowire trace with no additives or modifiers printed on glass. d) Optical image of a printed silver nanowire trace with the addition of 0.1% w/w HPMC printed on glass.
