Abstract:
1. A method for producing an antenna structure for an RFID device, said method comprising the steps of: providing a dry electrophotographic toner comprising a polymeric binder and metallic particles, said toner comprising particles having a resistance allowing triboelectric charging or a resistance allowing inductive charging, wherein said metallic particles are nanoparticles having a mean particle size below approximately 500 6nm in at least one direction; applying a continuous layer of said dry toner in a shape of an antenna onto a substrate via an electrophotographic printing process; and fusing the toner to the substrate by heating the toner above its glass transformation temperature so as to provide for an antenna structure for an RFID device; wherein said toner further comprises Octadecanamide as a second binder material.
