Abstract
A method for obtaining a flexible circuit with an solid-state electric or electronic component, the method comprising: arranging an electric circuit with a conductive flexible polymer-based ink over a polymeric substrate in the solid state, wherein one or both polymers in the ink and the substrate are reversible solid-gel phase transition polymers; placing the component over the substrate and over the electric circuit; applying an external stimulus that results in a solid to gel transition of the polymeric substrate and ink, such that the component penetrates into the softened substrate, establishing an electrical contact of the component with the circuit. Also disclosed is a method for obtaining the flexible circuit itself, the flexible circuit obtained by the method, and an ink for the method for obtaining a flexible circuit.
