    CHAPTER 2 INKS Ink is generally referred to the fluid or semi fluid that contains dye or pigments and it allows us to produce text, design or image on a surface by coloring it. Our main concern is conductive ink that produces a conducting pattern on any king of surface. Due to its liquid nature, conversion in to solid printing requires several steps like drying, curing or melting. For understanding the basics of conducting ink, knowledge of printing ink elements and working is required. 2.1 Printing

    The “James Bond Shower,” or also known as a “Scottish Shower,” turning the temperature down to freezing cold at the end for even 30 seconds can provide stunning advantages for our physique and skin. Most of us have been caught in that second of being the last one to shower. Perhaps you’ve had somebody walk into the bathroom, and flush the toilet mid-shower, leaving you covered in bone-chilling cold water. In these moments, instead of indulging in a hot luxurious shower, particularly during the bitter

  • Impact of Sodium Chloride Concentrations on Electrical Conductivity

    1036 Words  | 3 Pages

    Different Concentrations of Sodium Chloride Solutions and its Affect on Electrical Conductivity Introduction Electrical conductivity refers to a substances ability to carry moving electrons (conduct electricity). In order to do so, there must be a supply of delocalised electrons. While in a solid state, ionic substances can not conduct electricity as there are no delocalised electrons or free/mobile ions to act as charge carriers. In an aqueous ionic solution, the H2O molecules break apart the crystal

    going to vary between metals. The findings in this lab prove this to be true. So if one is trying to determine what an unknown metal is made up of, this experiment would be an adequate solution. Once you find your values, compare them to a thermal conductivity chart and compare to find the metal. Based on the data collected throughout the lab, I can conclude that my hypothesis was correct. A metals heat capacity is determined by the makeup and density of a metal.

    Q1) OFHC copper refers to oxygen-free, high conductivity copper alloys, which typically are types of pure copper alloys. OFHC are metallic materials of the group nonferrous alloys, which is known for it is high conductivity of electrical and thermal ability. OFHC produced by the direct conversion of selected refined cathodes and castings under carefully controlled conditions to prevent contamination of the pure oxygen-free metal during processing. The method of producing OFHC copper ensures extra

  • Experiment on Electrical Resistance

    2180 Words  | 5 Pages

    Experiment on Electrical Resistance The electrical resistance of a material is its opposition to the flow of electric current (slowing the flow of electrons down). Resistance occurs when the electrons travelling along the wire collide with the atoms of the wire. These collisions slow down the flow of electrons causing resistance. Resistance is a measure of how hard it is to move the electrons through the wire. A current is the rate of the flow of charge (electrons) and the resistance
