Substrates based on renewable resources for printed circuit boards

Using standard conductive paste screen printing on standard substrates and substrates based on renewable resources was done. While the parameters of the screen printing were kept unchanged, the curing temperature of the screen printed structures was varied. The resulting contact pattern were examined in regard to their resistivity and the mechanical resistance. Furthermore, the resolution of the pattern in dependency of substrate and curing temperature was studied. Additionally the burning behavior of the substrate was comparatively examined.
