Flexible electronics has attracted an increasing attention over the last 10 years as it is at the edge of the development of new portable devices. Laser based technologies are attracting new applications due to the unique properties of laser light, providing the selectivity. It is demonstrated that precursors based on DES can open new directions for direct laser metallisation.
