Inkjet Printhead

Piezoelectric three-dimensional inkjet printing has been used to manufacture heterogeneous objects due to its high level of flexibility. The materials used are non-Newtonian inks with complex rheological properties, and their behavior in the context of inkjet printing has not been fully understood: for example, the fact that the shear-thinning viscosity affects the droplet generation. Therefore, a control strategy coping with shear-thinning behaviors is needed to ensure printing consistency. In this paper, a novel model-based approach is presented to describe the shear-thinning ink dynamics inside the piezoelectric inkjet printhead, which provides the basis to design the excitation parameters in a systematic way. The dynamic equation is simplified into a quasi-one-dimensional equation through the combination of the boundary layer theory and the constitutive equation of the power-law fluid, of which the viscosity is shear-thinning. Based on this, a nonlinear time-varying equivalent circuit model is presented to simulate the power-law fluid flow rate inside the tube. The feasibility and effectiveness of this model can be evaluated by comparing the results of computational fluid dynamics and the experimental results.

AbstractWe consider the two- and three-dimensional spreading of a finite volume of viscous power-law fluid released over a denser inviscid fluid and subject to gravitational and capillary forces. In the case of gravity-driven spreading, with a power-law fluid having strain rate proportional to stress to the power $n$, there are similarity solutions with the extent of the current being proportional to ${t}^{1/ n} $ in the two-dimensional case and ${t}^{1/ 2n} $ in the three-dimensional case. Perturbations from these asymptotic states are shown to retain their initial shape but to decay relatively as ${t}^{\ensuremath{-} 1} $ in the two-dimensional case and ${t}^{\ensuremath{-} 3/ (n+ 3)} $ in the three-dimensional case. The former is independent of $n$, whereas the latter gives a slower rate of relative decay for fluids that are more shear-thinning. In cases where the layer is subject to a constraining surface tension, we determine the evolution of the layer towards a static state of uniform thickness in which the gravitational and capillary forces balance. The asymptotic form of this convergence is shown to depend strongly on $n$, with rapid finite-time algebraic decay in shear-thickening cases, large-time exponential decay in the Newtonian case and slow large-time algebraic decay in shear-thinning cases.

Inkjet Printhead

Abstract Recently, the three-dimensional (3D) printing technique has attracted much attention for creating objects of arbitrary shape and manufacturing. For the first time, in this work, we present the fabrication of an inkjet printed low-cost 3D temperature sensor on a 3D-shaped thermoplastic substrate suitable for packaging, flexible electronics, and other printed applications. The design, fabrication, and testing of a 3D printed temperature sensor are presented. The sensor pattern is designed using a computer-aided design program and fabricated by drop-on-demand inkjet printing using a magnetostrictive inkjet printhead at room temperature. The sensor pattern is printed using commercially available conductive silver nanoparticle ink. A moving speed of 90 mm/min is chosen to print the sensor pattern. The inkjet printed temperature sensor is demonstrated, and it is characterized by good electrical properties, exhibiting good sensitivity and linearity. The results indicate that 3D inkjet printing technology may have great potential for applications in sensor fabrication.
