Effect of the sonication time on scission of the nanowire length.

Sonication time	Average length of the nanowire (μm)	Average diameter of the nanowire (nm)	Result
No sonication	10–13	61	Not jettable
30 minutes	3.77	61	Cartridge gets clogged in the first print
1 hour	2.81	61	Cartridge gets clogged after 5–6 prints
2 hours	1.72	61	Optimum AgNW length for printing with no break in the conducting tracks
3 hours	1.18	61	No clogging of the cartridge. Very short AgNWs result in lower conductivity when compared to sonication of 2 hours
