Abstract: A flexible printed circuit and a method for manufacturing the same are revealed. Modified functionalized graphene is used to prepare a functionalized graphene-based ink. Then the functionalized graphene-based ink is printed on a surface of a flexible plastic substrate to form a conductive trace pattern of a circuit.
