Background

At present, the conductive ink applied to the printed electronic industry is mainly filled conductive ink, and most of the used conductive fillers are inorganic fillers such as gold, silver, copper, nickel, carbon black, graphite, carbon fibers and the like, wherein the metal silver is most widely applied with good conductivity and stability. The water-based UV conductive ink is prepared by taking water-based light-cured resin as a connecting material, adding nano silver powder as a filler and assisting other components. The printing principle is that the silver conductive ink is printed on the base materials such as the printed circuit board, and the like, and is firstly placed in an oven for drying, and then is solidified by an ultraviolet curing machine, and is sintered at the temperature of about 150-350 ℃, and is cooled to the normal temperature. The conductivity of the sintered silver conductive layer can reach 2.4 multiplied by 10 < -5 > omega cm, the surface resistance can reach below 0.1 omega/□ (□ is a square resistor printing process, which means the resistance between the edges of a square thin film conductive material, and the square resistor is characterized in that the resistances between the edges of any square are the same and are only related to the thickness of a conductive film and other factors), and the application requirements of RFID antennas, PCB circuit boards and the like can be completely met.
But the following reasons restrict the industrial application of the water-based UV conductive ink: (1) chemical reaction occurs during printing, and the sintering temperature is high.

(2) Silver is the metal with the best conductivity at normal temperature, but the expensive price of the nano silver powder is the main reason for restricting the wide industrial application of the water-based UV conductive ink. The research on the novel water-based UV conductive ink capable of solving the problems is a research hotspot in the printing ink industry at home and abroad, so that the research and development of the water-based UV conductive ink have very important practical significance.

In order to overcome the defects of the prior art, the invention provides the water-based UV conductive ink which is low in cost, simple in process and excellent in performance, and the water-based UV conductive ink mainly comprises the following components in percentage by weight based on the total weight of the ink:

The conductive polymer is the key to determining the performance of the aqueous UV conductive ink. The conductive polymer PEDOT is a polymer of EDOT (3, 4-ethylenedioxythiophene monomer), has special electrical and optical properties, and has the characteristics of simple molecular structure, small energy gap, high conductivity (600S/cm) and the like.
Since PEDOT itself is an insoluble polymer, its specific conductivity properties cannot be directly utilized. However, it was found in the experiments that the addition of an oxidizing agent to carry out the oxidation reaction allows PEDOT to form a water-soluble polymer and has high conductivity. The oxidant is one or more of calcium hypochlorite, magnesium hypochlorite, sodium hypochlorite or potassium hypochlorite, and is used for generating a chemical reaction with PEDOT to generate a polymer aqueous solution with high conductivity.
In several experiments, calcium hypochlorite (Ca (ClO))2) After the polymer is subjected to oxidation reaction with PEDOT, the conductivity of the polymer aqueous solution is greatly improved, and the specific reaction process is as follows:
PEDOT is a polymer of EDOT (3, 4-ethylenedioxythiophene monomer), PEDOT (3, 4-ethylenedioxythiophene polymer) in calcium hypochlorite Ca (ClO)2The following oxidation reaction mechanism: wherein OCl- (hypochlorous acid) is an oxidizing agent which oxidizes thiophene (a) in PEDOT (3, 4-ethylenedioxythiophene polymer) to its corresponding thiophene-1-oxide (b). Similarly, thiophene-1-oxide (b) is oxidized to its corresponding thiophene-1, 1-dioxide (c). In this reaction, the thiophene-1-oxide (b) is assumed to be one reaction intermediate in the thiophene-1, 1-dioxide (c). Finally, the further oxidation of the thiophene-1, 1-dioxide (c) removes SO from the compound2And allowing the hydroxyl group to be attached to the thiophene-1, 1-dioxide (c) by a nucleophilic reaction of water, thereby forming an aqueous polymer solution having high conductivity.
Although the conductive polymer formed in the way has good conductivity in a water-soluble state, the conductivity is greatly reduced after the polymer is solidified. In order to improve the conductivity of the aqueous UV conductive ink, the conductive polymer is added with the nano copper powder conductive filler, so that the conductivity of the ink is greatly improved.
Preferably, the particle diameter of the nano copper powder is less than 50nm, and the purity is more than 99.9%, so that the nano copper powder can be uniformly mixed in the ink.

Therefore, the stabilizer is added in the formula of the invention to prevent the oxidation of the nano copper powder, and further, the stabilizer is one or more of cetyl trimethyl ammonium bromide, 2-hydroxy-4-n-octoxy benzophenone, dodecyl trimethyl ammonium bromide or polyvinylpyrrolidone.
The printing viscosity of the ink is a key factor for ensuring the quality of a printed product, and the adhesive in the formula can control the viscosity of the ink. Further, the adhesive is one or more of 2, 2-dimethylolpropionic acid, dimethylolbutyric acid or polyacrylamide; it is particularly preferable to use Polyacrylamide (PAM) having good flocculation property. The adhesive has flocculation and thickening effects, and can prevent separation between the ink and the mixed solvent.
The solvent in the formula is an additive for diluting the ink, and the PEDOT is subjected to chemical reaction to generate a polymer aqueous solution with high conductivity and other additives for dilution. Further, the solvent is one or more of diethylene glycol butyl ether, tung oil or n-propanol.
The leveling agent in the formula is mainly used for improving the fluidity of the ultraviolet curing ink so that the ink can be leveled on a substrate. If the leveling property is poor, the printed product has the phenomena of orange peel, sagging, shrinkage cavity and the like, so that the printed product not only has poor conductive effect, but also has reduced other performances. Further, the flatting agent is one or more of TEGO Glide100, a pure acrylic flatting agent, ethylene oxide or propylene oxide;
the defoaming agent in the formula is an auxiliary agent capable of eliminating bubbles generated in the stirring of the ultraviolet light curing conductive ink. Because some auxiliary agents in the ink such as surfactant, leveling agent, etc. can generate bubbles during the ink stirring and grinding process. Further, the defoaming agent is one or more of a defoaming agent 6800, a defoaming agent 810, a defoaming agent D105, a defoaming agent T-20GA or a defoaming agent DF-100;
the polymerization inhibitor in the formula is an auxiliary agent for blocking or delaying the curing reaction, can inhibit the thermal polymerization of unsaturated substances, and can avoid equipment from being caked and blocked in the printing process. Further, the polymerization inhibitor is one or more of hydroquinone, phenothiazine, beta-phenyl naphthylamine, methyl hydroquinone THQ or methylene blue.
In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the ink further comprises 5-10% of pigment by mass, and different types of pigments are added, so that the ink can have multiple colors, and the application requirements of occasions can not be met. Whether the pigment is added or not can be determined according to the actual requirement of the water-based UV conductive ink, and the water-based UV conductive ink without the pigment is gloss oil; it may be required to be either or both of an organic pigment and an inorganic pigment.
