최근 디스플레이 산업과 태양전지 등의 이차 전지 산업이 발달함에 따라 원가절감과 공정단계의 단순화를 위하여 다이렉트 패터닝 인쇄에 대한 연구가 관심을 받고 있으며, 나노전자부품 제작이 요구되는 전기/전자 소자들은 수백 nm에서부터 수십 ${\mu}$m 수준까지 다양한 해상도의 패턴으로 구성되므로 미세패턴이 가능한 정전수력학 잉크젯프린팅 방식은 기존의 인쇄 방식과 달리, 정전기력을 이용하여 인쇄를 하는 방식으로, 수KV의 고전압을 인가하여 잉크를 대전시키고, 대전된 잉크는 대부의 전기적 반발력에 의해 액적이나 액실로 분열하게 된다. 전하를 띤 액적 또는 액실은 정전기력을 받아 기판 쪽으로 이동을 하게 되는데, 이때 액적의 전하량에 의해 액적의 이동속도와 이동경로가 영향을 받게 된다. 본 연구에서는 잉크의 전기전도도에 따른 액적의 전하량을 계산하여 전기전도도와 액적의 전하량과의 관계를 ANASYS 시뮬레이션과 운동경로 분석을 통해 확인하였다. 전기전도도가 0.307s/m~5.6s/m인 잉크에 따른 액적의 전하량을 계산하였으며, 전기전도도가 변화에 따라. 전하량이 $0.5{\times}10^{-13}C{\sim}2.5{\times}10^{-13}C$ 으로 변화하는 것을 확인하였다.

Most droplet generators are based on the Rayleigh's theory of droplet breakup, and various kind of droplet generation devices have been designed in accordance with vibrating method of capillary liquid column. At present, VOAG(Vibrating Orifice Monodisperse Aerosol Generator) is used to generate primary aerosol standards. For the combustion experiments with isolated single droplet, it is found that dripping method or separating method of suspended drop at an end of filament are more effective. Single drops can be separated from continuous streams of droplets by controlling electric charge.

Understanding of the impinging behavior of an electrically charged spray is essential in determining appropriate operating conditions for electro-spraying of paints, surface coating materials and insecticides. In the present work, as an initial step, the wall impact of an electrically charged droplet has been experimentally investigated. The charged drops were directed on the surface of a paraffin wax, and the impinging behavior was visualized and recorded using a CCD camera to identify the impingement regime. The spread-rebound boundary for the charged drop turned out to be smaller compared to that for an electrically neutral droplet under the same surface condition. The shift of the transition criterion is considered to be due to the discrepancy between the maximum spread ratio of the electrically charged droplet and that of the neutral droplet.

Understanding of the impinging behavior of an electrically charged spray is essential in determining appropriate operating conditions for electro-spraying of paints, surface coating materials and insecticides. In the present work, the wall impact behavior of an electrically charged drop has been investigated and compared with that of a neutral drop experimentally. The critical Sommerfeld number representing the spread-splash boundary for the charged drop impacting on the dielectric substrate turned out to be larger compared to that for the neutral drop with the same surface condition. The change of the transition boundary is due to the increase in the surface wettability of the drop on the substrate. However, with the electrically conducting substrates, the charging effect on the transition boundary appeared negligible. This is because the electric discharging time is much shorter than the time required for the flattened drop to reach its maximum extent.

Recently, researches for droplet impact phenomena have been faced a new phase in the direction of studying the effect of complex external conditions (e.g. wettability, temperature, morphology, electric field, etc.) for depth understanding and precise controlling in various applications. Hence, here we investigated the electrified droplet impact phenomena, because there were few quantitative researches for electrified droplet impact when we considering many real applications such as electrospray, electrohydrodynamic (EHD) jet printing. To observe interaction effect of surface charge between substrate and droplet simultaneously, micro-droplets with various Reynolds number (Re) and Weber number (We) were dripped on super-hydrophobic surface with existence and nonexistence of electrical surface charge. It shows three kinds of impact behaviors, fully bouncing, partial bouncing, and splashing with different We. Also, charged droplet bounced higher on electrically charged surface than on non-charged surface. Additionally, transition regions of three impact behaviors were classified quantitatively with water hammer pressure value, which means instant pressure inside droplet at the impact moment.

An experimental study was performed to explore the drop formation and atomization characteristics in electrohydrodynarnic atomization with flow rate, power supply, voltage frequency, and nozzle size. A basic electrohydrodynarnic atomizer equipment was developed for the analysis of spray visualization and tested for the exploration of relationship between several experimental parameters. In results, the varicose wave had been taken place and the small droplets had been generated less than outer diameter of nozzle on the conditions of 25G of nozzle, flow rate of 2 mL/min, and applied frequency of 50kV at AC power over 5kV voltage. The whipping motion had been grown at applied frequency of 400kV and AC power around 2kV voltage

A novel electrostatic splaying method for solidifying a galvanized coating layer was studied. Our experimental results and computer simulations showed that electric field could assist the fine droplets to attach on the steel surface and change the sprayed droplets trajectory especially in the space near the steel surface. It was necessary to apply the electric voltage higher than - 20 kV to obtain the enough electrostatic attraction force between droplets and the steel sheet.

A novel electrostatic spraying method to solidify molten zinc coating layer was studied by SEM and measurement of sample's temperature. The sprayed droplets also served as nucleation sites in the solidification reaction of molten zinc but might leave the pitting mark by impinging on its surface especially at high spray pressure. Our experimental results showed that electric field could change the sprayed particle trajectories and assist the fine droplets to attach on the surface. Thus, by reducing the spray pressure and by applying the electric voltage higher than -20 KV to charge the droplets electrostatically, we could produce the spangle free galvanized coating layer without pitting.
