Dim Sum Labs Maker Monday – conductive paint

Last night Dim Sum Labs hosted a workshop for making conductive paint which can use it to paint for conducting circuit. The paint was based on nano copper particles suspended from mixing Ascorbic Acid and Copper Sulphate.

The fun part was that our host William and Ally were actually first time making this, which we would expected a lot of experiments for the night.

First, Ally carefully measured and mixed the Ascorbic Acid and Copper sulphate in a water bottle.

After awhile, the chemical reaction produced small amount of nano copper particles. (which we would expected more)  We waited and tried different methods to dry out the particles (like putting in a microwave).  we got only enough to draw a small circuit for now.

And it worked!!! we successfully lighted up the LED with the conductive paint!

yea! it was a successful experiment.
