Abstract
Methods and chemistries are described to form electrically conductive adhesion promoters for use with reactive inks. In some implementations, a metal ink is printed on a substrate. An adhesion promoter is deposited on the surface of the substrate. The adhesion promoter reacts to form a covalent bond with the substrate. Subsequently, a reactive metal ink is used to print on a substrate using a drop-on-demand printing process. The reactive metal ink includes metal cations that react with the adhesion promoter-treated substrate surface to form a conductive bond between the adhesion promoter-treated substrate surface and a metal of the reactive metal ink.
