synthesis of gold nanoparticles for use in the production of conductive inks

Conductive inks resemble standard conventional printing inks, but they must also conduct electrical current efficiently. in this study, gold nanoparticles were initially synthesized using glucose and characterized. the physical methods performed indicate the formation of gold nanoparticles. x-ray diffraction spectroscopy employed to confirm the formation of gold nanoparticles and ascertain their crystal structure. the resulting nanoparticles were used to create conductive inks based on previously published methods. the electrical resistance of the glucose– gold nanocomposite film measured after drying at 60°c using a digital ohmmeter. the electrical resistance of the film found to be 0.00045 ω, significantly lower than that of glucose without gold nanoparticles (210 ω). this reduction in electrical resistance compared with the film without gold nanoparticles, indicates the enhancement of electrical conductivity due to the addition of gold nanoparticles. . a microwave method proposed for the quick and direct preparation of nan oink. conductive inks have many uses in the industry
