Tailoring Electrical Properties in Carbon Nanomaterial Patterns with Multimaterial Aerosol Jet Printing

Self-Driven, Monopolar Electrohydrodynamic Printing via Dielectric Nanoparticle Layer

“…Specifically, extrusion-based methods can accommodate a wide range of inks but are prone to nozzle clogging with a tiny nozzle aperture for high resolution printing. Noncontact inkjet printing (piezoelectric or thermal) enables drop-on-demand patterning of droplets but its spatial resolution is limited to no less than 20 μm as extrusion swell phenomenon. , Aerosol jet printing can deposit diverse inks on virtually any substrates with spatial resolution as fine as 10 μm, while the compatible ink-viscosity range is limited to 1–500 cps. , Furthermore, conventional printing processes are hardly adaptable to submicroscale printing of multiple materials on diverse thick substrates.…”
