Abstract
An article having an electrical circuit component printed directly onto one side of a substrate includes the substrate and an electrical circuit component formed of a conductive liquid printed directly onto one side of the substrate. The electrical component is capable of performing its electrical circuit functions, as printed, and without the necessity for post-printing processes such as metal etching, catalytic ink activation, or electroless deposition.
