a, b Additional curvature data for 20 μm and 35 μm thick silver nanoparticle walls after sintering at 300 °C. c AJ printed nanoparticle walls (1.5 × 1.5 mm) with increasing thickness from 20 μm to 140 μm. Scale bar (1.5 mm). A video showing the bending during sintering is included in Supplementary Movie 4. d Curvature of the walls shown in c as a function of time indicating the peak curvature and partial recoil. e Final deformation state of the silver nanoparticle walls after sintering at 300 °C. Scale bar is 1.5 mm.
