Silver electric conductive paints

Abstract

Twenty seven formulations were prepared based on three grades of laboratory prepared silver pigments. These formulations could be classified into three main groups. The aim of this classification is to study the effect of the type of binder and pigment on the efficiency of the formulated electric conductive paints. A commercial silver conductive paint is used for comparison. The formulated paints were laboratory tested for adhesion, hardness, acid and alkali resistance, corrosion protection and electric conductivity. It has been found that these formulations pass all the laboratory tests. The conductivity of the formulated paints is higher than the conductivity of the commercial one. Both of the pigment particle size and the type of the used binder effect the conductivity of the formulated paints.
