Inorganic chemistry used more widely

The best printed conductors employ silver inks - increasingly with particles only 3nm across,because that uses less silver and reduces the annealing temperatureso low cost polymer substrates can be used. However, copperalternatives are now offered and dealing with the insulating oxideon the copper is now a target of development programs, soconnections become easier. Additive aluminium used for antennas hasa similar challenge but it is in use in RFID labels. Printed silver is used in keyboards, battery testers on batteries , talking tablecloths, pillow radios, interactive board games,medical disposables and much more besides. Printed tin and nickelhave been used for resistors, including heaters in apparel.Transparent electrodes for printed displays, photosensor arrays andlighting are almost entirely printed or sputtered with indium tin oxide , with other tin oxide formulations being researched as a lowercost alternative. There is also a body of work on antimony tinoxide transparent electrodes.
