I'm an artist/designer and just a tiny bit familiar with electronics
and I'm conducting some research for an art project about the
electrical properties of oilpaint. A lot of pigments used in
traditional (oil)paint colours are metallic oxides. For example
Cadmium, Zinc, Titanium, Aluminium, Cobalt, Copper etc. Some of them
like Cadmium Selenide (Cadmium Red) and Zinc oxide (Zinc White) have
n-type and p-type (Thin oxide) semiconducting characteristics.
So will it be possible to make some kind of an electric circuit or
semiconducting switches out of a paint like substances based on these
metallic oxides pigments?
If so should I use an other medium than oil for better conductivity?
Can you draw a simple circuit with a paintbrush or will this idea
totally not work at all?
In advance I thank you for your thoughts and comments.
