The inks for the specialized field of printable electronics have to be specially designed. Conductive inks are comprised of dispersed conductive particles commonly metal nano particles in a non conductive resin matrix. Conductivity can also be achieved by using polymers that exhibit electronic conductivity in a suitable solvent. Chitosan, an organic bio polymer bears good environmental, thermal and chemical stability, shows good electrical and optical properties. The presence of –OH and –NH2 groups in chitosan offers site for grafting. It is electrical conducting material having good pH switching properties. Poly aniline grafted chitosan (PGCS) was prepared and characterized using FTIR, SEM, XRD and DSC with reference to Chitosan (CS). PGCS/CS hydrogels were used to prepare conducting ink and resistance of lines drawn with these ink samples were measured. PGCS containing inks showed less resistance or greater conductivity as compare to inks constituting CS.
