“…During the EHD printing, the shape of ink meniscus at the droplet-emitting opening of the printing nozzle changes when an electric field is established between the printing nozzle tip and substrate. The resultant meniscus shape depends on the balance among surface tension, electrostatic force, and hydrostatic pressure [21][22][23]. In all of the previous literature regarding the EHD printing [24][25][26][27], single-capillary nozzles have been exclusively used to generate ink droplets.…”

Electrohydrodynamic (EHD) printing is a promising technique for additive manufacturing of high-resolution features with low cost and high efficiency. One of the major issues in EHD printing is nozzle clogging, which often occurs in the printing of colloidal inks with high concentrations. We proposed a new EHD printing nozzle configuration with dual channels to enable ink flow circulation to resolve the above issue. In this study, we focused on the meniscus dynamics and jetting characteristics of this new EHD printing process. Various jetting modes, i.e. continuous jet, pulsating jet, and pulsating droplet, as a function of the electric field intensity and nozzle configuration, were discussed. Dot patterns on a flexible substrate have been demonstrated via the new EHD printing process when operated at the pulsating droplet mode.
