Summary: We present a low-temperature inkjet printing and plasma treatment method for creating conductive silver traces on PVA film, achieving good fidelity and low sheet resistance. We also identify a critical salt loading in the film that prevents the reaction between the polymer and the silver nitrate-based ink, enhancing the resolution of the silver trace.
