Copper paints
As a project of a senior level class, we are looking at conductive painting systems. Can anyone provide input on handling of copper powder in aqueous solutions to avoid the oxidation of copper?

Interesting question; I don't know what commercial manufacturers do. But I would think that including a corrosion inhibitor and/or a reducing agent would prevent the oxidation.
