Abstract

Abstract Cellulose foil is a biodegradable and carbon neutral material that is a poor substrate for most conductive silver inks. Herein, it is reported that a simple solution of silver acetate in 1‐methylimidazole can be used to produce conductive patterns on a commercial packaging foil that is composed almost exclusively from cellulose. The reduction can be carried out thermally or by irradiation with UV light. In the latter case, the printed pattern may become conductive on both sides of the substrate and also exhibits conductivity across the cellulose foil, giving rise to fully printed vertical interconnect access. Control experiments confirm that the cellulose plays a crucial role in completing the reduction of the silver salt, obtaining conductive patterns.

18. Methylimidazole is an acute poison (category 1–3) is corrosive to metals and skin and may cause serious eye damage. It must be handled with care using personal safety equipment such as eye protection and laboratory gloves. The ovens used for the curing of the ink should be ventilated. The use of half‐mask respirators is also advised.
