 HISTORY
ANALISSA RUSSO

Inventor of circuit scribe

Director of STEM outreach

Multiple tools for low cost ,high quality electronics.

BRETT WALKER
Co-founder

2nd place in national collegiate competition

EXISTING ONE

Breadboard-
Clumsiness
Vero board-
Unreliable
Printed circuit board
PCB-fixed circuits

Bread board Vero board

PROPOSED ONE:
CIRCUIT SCRIBE

Roller ball pen with conductive

silver ink
As easy as doodling
CONDUCTING INK

Results in printed object which

conducts electricity
Classed as fixed high solid systems
or PTF polymer
Why SILVER???

Generally any conductor

10^18 to 10^23 atoms /unit cell

Ag-(+1)
Cu-(+2)
Au-(+2)
Al - (+3)
IS THAT EASY TO PREPARE
THE CONDUCTING INK???
 INGREDIENTS
Common solvents- Water
Ethanol
Methanol

Metal Precusor - Silver Nitrate

Capping agent - Poly acrylic acid

Binder - Hydroxy Ethyl

Reducing agent - Diethanol amine

EQUIPMENTS
Beakers and flasks

Stir plate

Centrifuge

Homogenizing mixer

Heated sonic bath

Syringe and filter

PROCESS
20g Agno3 into water
+1.915g of PAA + 40g
DEA

Sonicate for 1.5hrs at

65degrees+300ml
ethanol

Centrifugation (9000
rpm,20 minutes)
PROCESS
Filter the obtained
solution

HEC in 1:1 H2o methanol

homogenizing
mixer(3min 2000rpm)

Ready
PENS
2 types

1.Standard- CW2200STP-avg of 2mm

width
2.Micro bit difficult to handle
PROS
STEM Education

Low cost high quality

electronics
Flexible electronics

Lifetime working
capacity
CONS
Keep out of reach of children

Cost is bit high/pen

Cant erase once drawn

APPLICATIONS
CIRCUIT DESIGNS
MAKEY MAKEY PLATFORM
INVITATION CARDS
FASHION MEHENDI
SMALL PROTOTYPES
FUTURE SCOPE
Yet to design inductors, capacitors.
Replaces all the discrete
components.
CONCLUSION
Each technology has its own pace of
development.
Future promises us more.
