15. A method of making a liquid toner for printing conductive traces, the method comprising:
-
coating a dispersant on an electrically conducting material, the electrically conducting material having a shape of a flake, a fiber, or a tube; dispersing the dispersant coated electrically conducting material into a resin to form a mixture; grinding the mixture to embed the dispersant coated electrically conducting material in the resin using mechanical force; and adding the mixture to a carrier liquid to form the liquid toner. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17)
