Particle Properties
Particle Size:	As prepared particles have a nominal particle size of ~15 nm.
	Particle size distribution (see plot below) has been measured by an acoustic
	method and the PSD data has been substantiated by TEM.
Concentration:	The particles are available in concentrations as low as 1wt% up
	to 40wt%.
Additive Compatibility:	The aqueous based particles easily combine with a
	variety of additives including rheology modifiers and adhesion promoters.

Bulk Properties
Cure Kinetics:
	As prepared particles cure very rapidly to a white electrically continuous film.
	• At 85oC, a nominal 200-400 nm thick film cures in 30 sec to 2X bulk silver resistivity
	• In 60 seconds, the resistivity is nearly bulk - see Resistivity-Time plot below
	Fully formulated ink cures to a shiny gray, well adhered, electrically continuous film.
	• At 100oC, a nominal 200-400 nm thick film cures in 30 sec to 13X bulk silver resistivity
	• In 120 seconds, the resistivity is ~6X bulk - see Resistivity-Time plot below

Resistivity:	The resistivity as a function of time at various temperatures is shown
	in the plots below for two thickness ranges.
