Screen-printing flexible microwave dielectrics and conductors for mmW and 5G comms

Metallic inks for printing flexible conductors are well know, but how about inks for printing flexible microwave dielectics? Researchers at King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST) have developed a dielectric ink from the polymer ABS and ceramic particles. By screen-printing it onto glass, and then peeling off the dried result, flexible large-area dielectics of ...
