Top-down synthesis of zinc oxide based inks for inkjet printing

Abstract

A top-down approach for synthesizing pure and doped inkjet printable metal oxide inks.

Influence of the thermal annealing on the morphological and structural properties of ZnO films deposited onto polyimide substrates by ink-jet printing

“…This approach gives an opportunity to control the shape, size, phase, and chemical composition and optical and structural properties of the nanomaterials that, in turn, regulate functional parameters of the final devices. To enhance the working parameters of the described devices, ink-jet printed nanocrystalline films can be subjected to thermal and chemical treatments [14].…”

A novel approach to a fully inkjet printed SnO2-based gas sensor on a flexible foil

“…A vast variety of materials can be deposited by inkjet printing, including metallic nanoparticles and nanowires [3][4][5][6], polymers [7,8], semiconductors [9,10], quantum dots [11] and carbon nanotubes [12]. These materials are used to produce different types of electronic components such as lightemitting diodes [13], biosensors [14,15], supercapacitors [16], transistors [17,18], and solar cells [19].…”

Digital inkjet functionalization of water-repellent textile for smart textile application

“…The transparent functional ink containing polysiloxane in the form of a micro-emulsion should have a particle size distribution between 1 and 100 nm. The stated particle size (15 nm) is considerably below 200 nm, which is an experienced particle size limitation to avoid agglomeration of particles in the printing nozzle channel [31]. The functional ink was able to filter through nylon syringe filters with pore sizes of 0.45 and 0.2 lm, respectively, which confirmed that the functional particles are compatible with the inkjet printing process.…”
