Synopsis

In the last few years, there has been an increasing interest from the scientific community in the fabrication of flexible coils. Several methods can be used for the manufacture of flexible coil, mainly screen-printed coils on flexible substrates. In this work, three different screen printing coils with different layers of silver ink were manufactured and their quality factors were measured on bench. A MR-coil combining screen-printed process with electrodeposition step was also built. The additional manufacture step allowed improving drastically Q factor of our screen-printed coil with more than one order of magnitude while maintaining good flexibility of the substrate.
