2. Materials for plastronic objects

The additive technology of direct printing on thermoplastics involves the use of conductive inks requiring annealing. Annealing induces a temperature rise that can be harmful to the substrate. It is therefore necessary to characterize the {substrate + ink} pair used for the manufactured plastronic object.

2.1 Substrates

Polymers are generally used to manufacture LLINs; they can be classified into three groups:

  • thermosetting polymers ;

  • elastomer polymers ;

  • thermoplastic polymers.

Thermoset polymers consist of a mixture of monomers and an initiator. An input of thermal or photochemical energy activates the initiator,...
