base paper to electronic sensors are significantly cheaper. (Photo: Reuters)

Canadian researchers have developed conductive ink that makes it possible, electrical sensors to be printed on paper. This could be lighter, more flexible and even foldable electronic instruments in the future. In addition, the paper should be significantly reduced in the future as a convenient base material, the cost of electronic devices.

Especially in the field of medical technology could be used for diagnostic tests, reports the Wall Street Online. Electronic test strips, for example, for the detection of DNA, although have already been prepared based on paper, but only with a complex and expensive process that was previously possible.

With the electrically conductive ink, the research team has now found a much simpler solution. The ink is printed directly onto the paper. So sensors can respond to touch or specific molecules such as glucose. This allows smart test strip for the diagnosis of disease are produced cheaper.

The ink dries in minutes and cures to a camera flash light. Once cured, the material remains stable and robust even under load: The sensor responded even after 15 times wrinkles and 5000-fold and unfurling yet to touch.
