With the gradually maturing super-speed inkjet printing technology, people are pursuing steadier and higher speed as well as better quality presswork for the sake of increasing economic benefit. To provide an overview of the velocity fluctuation of the inkjet machine platform and the cyclical fluctuation of the incremental encoder, external clock and corresponding internal clock were applied separately to print the equally spaced lines under the same platform speed. Then a magnifier was used to measure distance between the lines, according to which the velocity fluctuation mentioned above can be obtained. Thus conclusion can be drawn from the fluctuation analysis that the velocity cycle of platform is 60mm, however, number of those produced by the incremental encoder is up to 3, including 60mm influenced by the platform, 300mm produced by the perimeter of encoders pressure wheel and 600mm produced by the circumference of dance roller. Furthermore, dance roller contributes more influence on narrow coated paper. Through this research, inkjet technician can do directional compensation for every factors to reduce the fluctuation.

Inkjet Printhead

The drop-on-demand (DOD) inkjet printing technology has been widely used in many fields and several types of droplet generators are developed. This paper presents the design, fabrication and tests of a piezoelectric bend mode drop-on-demand inkjet printhead with interchangeable nozzle. A disk-type PZT is actuated to push the liquid out of inkjet printhead by a function generator, and a droplet is formed because of surface tension. The interchangeable nozzle design enables the same printhead to be fitted with nozzles of different orifice size, thus a clogged nozzle can be easily removed for cleaning or replacement. An experimental platform for micro-droplet jetting is built in this paper. The droplet formation is recorded by a CCD camera as pictures, which can be used to measure the droplet dimension. The experiments are carried out by using the self-developed bend mode piezoelectric inkjet printing system. The influence of the drive parameters on the droplet quality is also studied by dispensing water.

Aerosol Jet Printing

Polyvinyl Alcohol (PVA) is a promising polymer due to its high solubility with water, availability in low molecular weight, having short polymer chain, and cost-effectiveness in processing. Printed technology is gaining popularity to utilize processible solution materials at low/room temperature. This work demonstrates the synthesis of PVA solution for 2.5% w/w, 4.5% w/w, 6.5% w/w, 8.5% w/w and 10.5% w/w aqueous solution was formulated. Then the properties of the ink, such as viscosity, contact angle, surface tension, and printability by inkjet and aerosol jet printing, were investigated. The wettability of the ink was investigated on flexible (Kapton) and non-flexible (Silicon) substrates. Both were identified as suitable substrates for all concentrations of PVA. Additionally, we have shown aerosol jet printing (AJP) and inkjet printing (IJP) can produce multi-layer PVA structures. Finally, we have demonstrated the use of PVA as sacrificial material for micro-electro-mechanical-system (MEMS) device fabrication. The dielectric constant of printed PVA is 168 at 100 kHz, which shows an excellent candidate material for printed or traditional transistor fabrication.

Printing System

A laboratory-scale inkjet printing system was designed for printing polymeric inks with the focus on PEDOT:PSS, a transparent, electrically conductive polymer. PEDOT:PSS inks with 0 and 1 wt. % Surfynol were tested rheologically in elongational and shear flows. A process model is presented and validated for the prediction of flow boundary after the ink exits the nozzle, including drop formation. Process optimization involved establishing a process window related to the voltage waveform, substrate temperature, speed and printed line-overlap, aiming at avoiding satellite drops, “coffee cup” rings, the Rayleigh instability, “stacked printed lines,” and discontinuities in the printed lines or films.

Inkjet Printing Technology

We present a systematic approach for producing microstrip antennas using the state-of-the-art-inkjet printing technique. An initial antenna design based on the conventional square patch geometry is adopted as a benchmark to characterize the entire approach; the procedure then could be generalized to different antenna geometries and feeding techniques. For validation purposes, the antenna is designed and simulated using two different 3D full-wave electromagnetic simulation tools: Ansoft’s High Frequency Structure Simulator (HFSS), which is based on the Finite Element Method (FEM), and CST Microwave Studio, which is based on the Finite Integration Technique (FIT). The systematic approach for the fabrication process includes the optimal number of printed layers, curing temperature, and curing time. These essential parameters need to be optimized to achieve the highest electrical conductivity, trace continuity, and structural robustness. The antenna is fabricated using Inkjet Printing Technology (IJPT) utilizing Sliver Nanoparticles (SNPs) conductive ink printed by DMP-2800 Dimatix FujiFilm materials printer.

This paper is focused on investigation of dielectric properties of various substrates for InkJet printing technology. In addition this paper included investigation of dielectric properties' homogeneity. Dielectric constant and loss tangent of polymeric flexible substrates (Polyimide DuPont Kapton HN, PET Mylar A, PEN Teonex Q51) and insulation paper (Nomex 410) were measured in GHz frequency area. Measurements were done by combination of vector network analyzer and split cylinder resonator. This measuring method provides dielectric properties at frequency around 10 GHz, the exact value of frequency may vary depends on specific material and its resonant frequency. Experiments included two types of samples, 6 x 6 cm which is recommended area for measurements of dielectric properties by split cylinder resonator and 12 x 12 cm for measurements of dielectric properties' homogeneity (one sheet contains 9 overlapping measuring areas 6 x 6 cm). All measured values of dielectric constant and dielectric losses were statistically processed and depicted by SigmaPlot software. The paper shows values of dielectric properties at GHz frequency area as they are lacking in datasheets from manufacturers and evaluate homogeneity of measured substrates.
