Silver Nanowire-Based Conductive Ink Technology

About Silver Nanowire-Based Conductive Ink Technology: 

• It has been developed under the project funded by the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY), Govt. of India.
• The indigenous conductive ink technology holds the promise of reducing dependency on other countries, while also enabling India to tap into the rapidly growing demand for advanced electronic materials.
• Silver Nanowire-Based Conductive Ink is a versatile material used in:
  • Flexible electronics (e.g., foldable devices, touchscreen displays, computer keyboards).
  • Wearable devices and sensors.
  • Solar panels and display technologies.
  • RFID tags and windshield defrosters.
• The global market for silver nanowire-based conductive ink and adhesive is projected to surpass $16.87B by 2032 due to a rapid increase in the electronics, semiconductor, solar photovoltaic, and RFID market.
• The market growth can be attributed to key factors, including robust demand from end-use industries.
• India imports ink worth no more than $15,72,000 every year. The United States of America, the People's Republic of China, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, and Taiwan are the major exporter countries.

Q1:What is Radio frequency ?

It refers to the rate of oscillation of electromagnetic radio waves in the range of 3 kHz to 300 GHz, as well as the alternating currents carrying the radio signals. This is the frequency band that is used for communications transmission and broadcasting.
