This invention discloses formulations of mutually compatible sets of graphene, graphene-carbon, metal and dielectric inks for the fabrication of high performance membrane touch switches (MTS). The compositions of these inks are optimized to achieve higher degree of compatibility with highly engineered polymeric substrates, thereby offering a holistic solution for fabricating high-performance MTS. These sets of materials can also be used for fabrication of sensors, biosensors and RFIDs on flexible substrates, such as polymers and papers.

A resin syringe includes: a syringe body made of polyolefin, and a printing layer having a shape that extends in a band around an outer surface of the syringe body. The printing layer comprises components including chlorinated polypropylene having a degree of chlorination in a range of 15 to 30%, a colorant, and a filler. A plurality of recessed portions is formed in the outer surface of the syringe body on which the printing layer is printed and the recessed portions form a shape that extends in a band around the outer surface of the syringe body and that is entirely covered by the printing layer. Each of the recessed portions has a depth of 50 nm or more and less than 1 μm and a width of 50 nm or more and less than 1 μm and is filled with at least one of the components of the printing layer.
