What is it about?
Silver Tape is a novel fabrication technique to transfer inkjet-printed conductive traces from paper onto versatile substrates, without time-/space- consuming processes. This allows users to quickly implement silver traces with a variety of properties by exploiting a wide range of substrates.

Why is it important?
Inkjet printing conductive material has been explored intensively due to its rapid, low-cost, simple nature for sensor, circuitry fabrication, but always limited to paper substrate and further limited this great technology from being employed into real-world scenarios. Silver Tape comes across this limitation by transferring the printed conductive pattern onto versatile substrates with desired purpose like transparent, heat-resistive, ultra-flexible, or even transient.
Perspectives
I hope this project will help to accelerate the development of at-home circuit fabrication, and will benefit makers, electronic amateurs or beyond.
