Printed Circuit Boards
Well we have all heard of those electronic wonders called PCBs “Printed Circuit Boards”. Its the place where all electronic components are placed to make a working electronic device.
Inkjet PCBs
What are inkjet PCBs. Well as the name implies, the ink solution is replaced with a solution of metal salts and water” and print out an actual electronic PCB.
Leeds Leeds the way
Leeds University’s Seyed Bidoki was recently able to print out an actual electronic circuit. The mysterious “silver salt solution” and vitamin C mixture could be used to “pave the way for safer and cheaper electronics manufacturing,”
Environmentally safe solution
This cheap and easy alternative should certainly be a hit with the environmentally conscience crowd. This method utilizes a water-soluble base, which differs from the less green solvents used in polymer ink / graphite paste from before. Individuals working with the project admit that ousting the current regime will be difficult. The crew is non the less, pressing forward with this toxin-free approach, and hopes to elicit the help of “industrial jet printers” before long to speed things up.
