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,...
