Abstract

This article presents the development of an electrically conductive filament based on a low-melting-point metal (tin). As the tin content increases, the resistance decreases and a tin edge layer forms. The resistance is related to the filler content and the associated more pronounced network structure. Filaments with a specific electrical resistance of 2.81 E-5 Ω m were developed.
