Analysis and Measurement of Ink Media Interactions in Inkjet Printing

Sharma R., Bedford E., Brys B., Viswanath K.T., Furlani E.P., Cabot Corporation, US

The development of modern inkjet printing systems is a complex process that requires an interdisciplinary team to address numerous critical and fundamental issues encountered throughout the commercialization cycle. An inkjet development effort spans a broad [...]

The Effect of Surface Treatment on The Line Formation of Inkjet-Printed Silver Nanoparticles

Moon S.J., Moon Y.J., Kang H.S., Kang K.T., Kang H.S., Kang K.T., Lee S-H., Moon S.J., Moon Y.J., Hwang J.Y., Korea Institute of Industrial Technology(KITECH), KR

Printing technologies have emerged as a promising technique to realize low-cost integrated circuits. Among several printing techniques, drop-on-demand inkjet printing is an attractive tool for low-cost electronics fabrication. Inkjet printing can generate patterns of metal, [...]

Multi-functional silica microdot arrays by inkjet printing for biosensor applications

De Los Cobos O., Lejeune M., Rossignol F., Carrion C., Boissière C., Ribot F., Sanchez C., Cattoën X., Wong Chi Man M., Durand J.-O., SPCTS, FR

Silica-based microarrays for molecular recognition are realized using a piezoelectric drop-on-demand inkjet printer. A sol containing tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS) and (3-azidopropyl)triethoxysilane is used as ink to print azido-functionalized mesoporous silica microdots arrays clickable with various [...]

Extremely Stretchable Electrode based on Combination of Inkjet-Printed Silver and Conductive Composite for Stretchable Lighting Applications

Kim D., Kim S., Byun J., Chung S., Kim D., Kim S., Hong Y., Seoul National University, KR

We have studied stretchable electrode based on combination of inkjet-printed silver electrode and conductive composite materials for stretchable lighting device applications. Previous stretchable electrodes were mainly realized by either vacuum deposition or inkjet-printing of conductive [...]

Stable colloidal dispersion of luminescing silicon nanoparticles for inkjet printing

Gupta A., Khalil A.S.G., Winterer M., Wiggers H., Universität Duisburg-Essen, DE

In this study, we synthesized Si-NPs with mean diameter about 4.2 nm in a microwave plasma reactor. In order to disperse these Si-NPs in organic solvent, the surface of freshly etched Si-NPs was modified with [...]

Manipulating Optical Properties of Luminescent Nanoparticle Substrates through Inkjet Printing

Guzan K., Sumerel J., Davis L., Hoertz P., Mills K., Magnus-Aryitey D., RTI International, US

In this work, an ink jet printer has been used to deposit patterns of photoluminescent particles onto nanofiber substrates allowing control of correlated color temperature (CCT) and color rendering index (CRI) of the resultant photoluminescent [...]

Nitrocellulose-Stabilized Silver Nanoparticles as Low Conversion Temperature Precursors for Inkjet-Printed Electronic Circuits

Nguyen B.T., Nguyen M.T., Gautrot J.E., Nguyen B.T., Nguyen M.T., Zhu X.X., Université de Montréal, CA

Liquid-based inkjet printing is considered as a constructive (rather than destructuve) low-cost technique for printed circuit boards fabrication. A convenient way of depositing silver films and lines using inkjet technology is to generate silver nanoparticles [...]

Soft Structured Piezoresistive Sensors by Inkjet Printing

Agrawal A., Patra P.K., Calvert P.D., University of Massachusetts Dartmouth, US

In this communication, we present a novel approach for the fabrication of soft structured polymeric strain sensors composed of, woven cotton base, and a conducing poly (3, 4 – ethylenedioxythiophene) - poly (4-styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT/PSS). A [...]
