	*Conductive carbon/graphite ink: graphite powder in a matrix of water glass (sodium silicate / Natriumsilikat) o ZnBr2 [https://www.youtube.com/c/cayrex2/search?query=ink]		*Conductive carbon/graphite ink: graphite powder in a matrix of water glass (sodium silicate / Natriumsilikat) or ZnBr2 [https://www.youtube.com/c/cayrex2/search?query=ink]

	cayrex2 in YouTube commen: To simplify this is,.... you add 20,5 grams of NaBr2 into 100 ml of water and 28,7 grams of ZnSO24 (heptahydrate) in 100 ml of water. But if you use ZnSO4 anhydrous then you need 16.1 grams for 100 ml of water. Another way to get a ZnBr2 is if you make with copper (II)bromide solution and metalic zinc, but CuBr2 can be expensive, so stick to first method. When you make a solution of NaBr2 and ZnSO4 then you need to heat the solution so long that the Na2SO4 start form a cristals on the bottom (from 200ml to boild down to about 75 - 50 ml) and for the finish you put the hot solution in cold water and you wait that the solution will be cooled down. On the bottom you will see cristals of Na2SO4 and the solution will be ZnBr2 + H2O		cayrex2 in YouTube commen: To simplify this is,.... you add 20,5 grams of NaBr2 into 100 ml of water and 28,7 grams of ZnSO24 (heptahydrate) in 100 ml of water.
