Inkjet printing is viewed as a versatile manufacturing tool for applications in materials fabrication addition to its traditional role graphics output and marking. The unifying feature all these the dispensing precise positioning of very small volumes fluid (1–100 picoliters) on substrate before transformation solid. application inkjet structures structural or functional requires an understanding how physical processes that operate during interact with properties precursors used. Here we...
Inkjet printing is a powerful tool for precision patterning and manufacture. Recently there have been significant developments in the use of inkjet applications biology, biomaterials sensor structures that used technique to directly print enzymes living cells. Despite impressive progress, approach date has empirical. This Highlight article reviews some key advances recent years outlines potential future areas require research development.
Inkjet printing offers controlled placement of both biological and synthetic materials. The precision, control small working volumes associated with inkjet are advantageous where materials such as proteins, enzymes cells can incur high costs. This review is primarily technology focused divides bioprinting into three categories interest: scaffolds demonstrates that the logistical hurdles material formulation requirements remain a common denominator to advancement field commercial applications...
The quality of life ageing populations is increasingly determined by age-related changes to the mechanical properties numerous biological tissues. Degradation and failure these tissues has a profound effect on human morbidity mortality. Soft have complex intricate structures and, similar engineering materials, their are controlled microstructure. Thus age-relate in behavior relative quantities microstructural tissue components. This review focuses cardiovascular system; it discusses...
The liquid-phase exfoliation of tin(II) sulfide to produce SnS nanosheets in N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone is reported. material characterized by Raman spectroscopy, atomic force microscopy, lattice-resolution scanning transmission electron microscope imaging, and energy dispersive X-ray spectrum imaging. Quantum chemical calculations on the optoelectronic characteristics bulk 10-layer down monolayer have been performed using a quantum density functional tight-binding approach. optical properties...
Conventional chemical oxidation routes for the production of graphene oxide (GO), such as Hummers’ method, suffer from environmental and safety issues due to their use hazardous explosive chemicals. These are addressed by electrochemical methods, but approaches typically have a low yield inhomogeneous oxidation. Herein we report two-step intercalation approach produce GO on large laboratory scale (tens grams) comprising (1) forming stage 1 graphite compound (GIC) in concentrated sulfuric...
Conductive inks for the future printed electronics should have following merits: high conductivity, flexibility, low cost, and compatibility with wide range of substrates. However, state-of-the-art conductive based on metal nanoparticles are in cost poor flexibility. Herein, we reported a highly conductive, super flexible ink graphene nanoplatelets. The has been screen-printed plastic paper Combined postprinting treatments including thermal annealing compression rolling, pattern shows...
In order to build a ceramic component by inkjet printing, the object must be fabricated through interaction and solidification of drops, typically in range 10−100 pL. achieve this goal, stable inks developed. These should satisfy specific rheological conditions that can illustrated within parameter space defined Reynolds Weber numbers. Printed drops initially deform on impact with surface dynamic dissipative processes, but then spread an equilibrium shape capillarity. We identify processes...
We present an experimental study of drop-on-demand inkjet behavior, with particular emphasis on the thresholds for drop generation and formation satellite drops, using inks covering a range fluid properties. Drop behavior can be represented as “phase diagram” in parameter space bound by dimensionless number Z (the inverse Ohnesorge number) Weber jet prior to formation, Wej. Stable is found bounded parallelogram minimum maximum values 2 < Wej 25. The lower indicates where capillary...
The treatment of wastewater from the oil and gas industry presents a very specific problem because produced is comprised complex mixture water that can be difficult to treat. In this work, polybenzimidazole (PBI), graphene oxide (GO) reduced GO (rGO) nanocomposite membranes were developed via common blade coating phase inversion technique for industry. dip-coated by polydopamine (PDA), which known its antifouling properties. For industrially relevant water, stable emulsions with high...
We present the results from an all inkjet printed 2D-black phosphorus humidity sensor displaying very high sensitivity.
The volume and velocity of droplets ejected from a piezoelectric droplet generator, as used in ink-jet printing, have been studied for range concentrated suspensions submicron alumina particles function driving signal voltage, frequency, peak shape. Drop are found to show linear relation with but more complicated periodic behavior changing frequency width. This dependence is shown be the acoustic properties fluid-filled chamber generator.

Abstract Summary: A drop‐on‐demand ink‐jet printer has been used to print a silver‐organic solution onto glass substrates. Conductive silver tracks were obtained by heat treatment of the printed deposits at temperatures ranging from 125 °C–200 °C in air. Resistivity values found have dropped two three times theoretical resisitivity bulk after 150 and above used. silver‐based ink. magnified image
