The printed, thermal, or photochemical sintered silver features are electrically conductive on glass (2.7 × 107 S m-1) and PET (PET = polyethylene terephthalate) substrates (1.1 × 107 S m-1) corresponding to 43\% and 18\% of the bulk silver conductivity. Conducted tape tests show the suitability of the ink for particularly polymer substrates. TG-MS studies demonstrate a two-step decomposition for the conversion of 3 to elemental silver. The structure of 3 in the solid state was determined by single X-ray structure determination.}, language = {en} }
