AbstractA combinatorial synthesis method was developed by ejecting insoluble oxide suspensions using a drop-on-demand inkjet delivery system. The insoluble oxide suspensions with ultrafine/nano particles were prepared by grinding the oxide power in water using a high-energy ball mill. Using luminescent materials as model systems, it was established that the technique is very well suited to combinatorial synthesis of insoluble oxides.

Abstract Manipulation of micro/nano particles has been well studied and demonstrated by optical, electromagnetic, and acoustic approaches, or their combinations. Manipulation of internal structure of droplet/particle is rarely explored and remains challenging due to its complicated nature. Here we demonstrated the manipulation of internal structure of disk-in-sphere endoskeletal droplets using acoustic wave for the first time. We developed a model to investigate the physical mechanisms behind this novel phenomenon. Theoretical analysis of the acoustic interactions indicated that these assembly dynamics arise from a balance of the primary and secondary radiation forces. Additionally, the disk orientation was found to change with acoustic driving frequency, which allowed on-demand, reversible adjusting disk orientations with respect to the substrate. This novel dynamic behavior leads to unique reversible arrangements of the endoskeletal droplets and their internal architecture, which may provide a new avenue for directed assembly of novel hierarchical colloidal architectures and intracellular organelles or intra-organoid structures.

ABSTRACTAn emerging selective metallization process utilizes Drop-On-Demand (DOD) inkjet printing, and recent developments in nano-particle fluid suspensions to fabricate fine-line circuit interconnects. The suspensions consist of silver or gold particulates of 1–10 nm in size that are homogeneously suspended in an organic carrier solvent. A piezo-electric droplet generator driven by a bipolar voltage signal is used to dispense 50–70 µm diameter droplets traveling at 1-3 m/s before impacting a compliant substrate. The deposit/substrate composite is subsequently processed at 300°Cfor 15 minutes to allow for evaporation of the solvent carrier and sintering of the nano-particles, thereby yielding a finished circuit product. Test vehicles created using this technique exhibited features as fine as 120–200 µm wide and 1–3 µm thick. The circuitry performed well during environmental conditioning studies. However, repeatability of the results showed sensitivity to the generation of steady, satellite-free droplets. In an effort to generate droplets consistently, it is essential to develop a strong fundamental understanding of the correlation between device excitation parameters and fluid properties, and resolve the microrheological behavior of the conductive ink as it flows through the droplet generator.

The active phase in heterogeneous catalysts consists of nanometer-sized metal or oxide particles dispersed within the tortuous pore structure of a high surface area matrix. Such catalysts are extensively used for controlling emissions from automobile exhausts or in industrial processes such as the refining of crude oil to produce gasoline. The morphology of these nano-particles is of great interest to catalytic chemists since it affects the activity and selectivity for a class of reactions known as structure-sensitive reactions. In this paper, we describe some of the challenges in the study of heterogeneous catalysts, and provide examples of how electron holography can help in extracting details of particle structure and morphology on an atomic scale.Conventional high-resolution TEM imaging methods permit the image intensity to be recorded, but the phase information in the complex image wave is lost. However, it is the phase information which is sensitive at the atomic scale to changes in specimen thickness and composition, and thus analysis of the phase image can yield important information on morphological details at the nanometer level.
