Abstract: An electrically conductive carbon nanotube-metal composite ink may include a carbon nanotube-metal composite in which metal nanoparticles are bound to a surface of a carbon nanotube by chemical self-assembly. The electrically conductive carbon nanotube-metal composite ink may have higher electrical conductivity than a commonly used metal nanoparticles-based conductive ink, and may also be used in deformable electronic devices that are flexible and stretchable, as well as commonly used electronic devices, due to the bending and stretching properties of the carbon nanotube itself.
