용액 중에서 나노입자의 전기영동 특성을 이용한 전자종이용 잉크 제조를 위해 $TiO_2$ 나노입자를 저유전율 용매인 cyclohexane에 혼합한 후 용매와 용질의 비중차를 줄이기 위해 분말 상 polyethylen을 첨가하여 high energy milling의 방법으로 입자분쇄와 동시에 입자 표면에 고분자 풍을 코팅하였다. 용액내의 입자 분산성 향상과 용매 착색을 위하여 계면활성제와 oil-blue N을 첨가한 후 전자종이용 잉크를 제조하여 측정한 제타 전위 결과 cyclohexane 내에서 $TiO_2$의 제타전위는 -40mV 정도였으나 polyethylene으로 코팅한 후 계면활성제를 첨가하였을 경우 최대 -110mV 이상의 높은 값을 나타내었다. 실제 디스플레이 특성을 평가하기 위해 포토리소그래피를 이용하여 3인치 크기의 ITO glass 위에 $10{\mu}m$의 크기를 갖는 십자형의 격벽을 $40{\mu}m$의 높이로 균일하게 형성한 후 합성된 전자잉크로 주입하여 상부전극과 하부전극사이에 UV 경화제를 도포하여 UV 접합을 실시하였다. 격벽 내에서 입자의 mobility를 측정하여 환산된 전자잉크의 응답속도는 0.1cm/sec로 측정되었으나, 전기영동시 입자들의 움직임에 따른 반사광의 파형을 측정한 경우 0.07cm/sec의 응답속도를 나타내었다.

사무용 고지의 상당량을 차지하는 복사고지는 열과 압력으로 융착된 합성고분자 물질인 토너를 함유하고 있으며 이들 토너는 펄핑 후 크고 판상 형태의 잉크 입자를 형성하 여 기존의 부유부상법으로 제거가 곤란한 문제점을 지니고 있었다. 이러한 문제점을 극복하 는 방안으로 응집제를 이용하는 방법을 검토하였다. 복사기용 인쇄 잉크로 널리 사용되는 토너 업자는 낮은 표면에너지를 가지는 소수 성 물질이므로 같은 표면 특성을 가지는 소수성 물질과 서로 잘 결합한다. 따라서 소수성의 응집제를 이용하면 분리된 토너 잉크업자를 응집시킬 수 있으며, 응집된 토너 응집체는 스 크린 또는 클리닝 같은 정선 공정을 이용하여 제거가 가능할 것이다. 따라서 복사고지를 효 과적으로 재활용할 수 있는 탈묵방법으로 응집제를 이용하여 토너 입자를 조대한 웅집체로 형성시키고 이를 기존 탈묵방법인 스크린처리로 제거하는 방법을 검토하였다. 본 연구에서는 고급알코올의 하나언 1 -octadecanol을 이용하여 기존의 탈묵 방법 인 부유부상법으로는 제거가 곤란한 토너 잉크의 업자를 웅집시켜 구형의 조대한 응집체로 형성시켜 이를 제거하는 기술에 대하여 연구하였다. 펄핑 시의 온도를 70C의 고온으로 설 정한 경우 토너 입자가 유리전이온도에 이르게 되며 이들 토너 입자는 응집제에 의하여 웅 집되어 구형으로 성장하는 특정이 뚜렷하였으며, 토너 응집체의 크기는 최대 800 µm에 이 르기까지 조대하게 성장하였다. 또한 슬롯 폭 $250\mu\textrm{m}$의 진동 스크린 처리에 의한 토너 제 거 효율 측정 결과 역시 이들 토너 업자 웅집체의 형태가 구형임을 보여주었다. 해리 및 응 집 처 리 시 의 pH를 3으로 조정 하였을 때 토너 입 자가 웅집 제인 1 -octadecanol에 의 해 가장 효과적으로 구형의 조대한 웅집체를 이루는 것으로 나타났으며, 스크련을 통한 토너 웅집체 제거효율이 향상되었다. 복사고지 내에 포함되어 있는 전분 또는 사이즈제는 웅집 효과를 떨어뜨리는 주요 인으로 나타났다.

e-Printing is a new manufacturing technology for electronic products and is based on traditional printing technology. The electronic products require a large area to facilitate printing and to be economical. A gravure printing system that supports a roll to roll (R2R) manufacturing process can be used to reduce the cost and to achieve the required accuracy. Many factors such as drying method, drying temperature, tension,-printing velocity, ink viscosity, ink conductivity, pattern accuracy, and dot geometry influence the performance of printed electronics. These factors are closely interrelated. The optimum condition for printing must be determined to enhance the performance of the printed electronics. In this study, lines and areas are printed using a gravure printer with conductive ink under different conditions of the above mentioned factors. The results are analyzed to investigate the influence of various factors on the performance of the printed electronics.

Inkjet printed silver films were fabricated using nano particles with the size of ~ 20 nm. We can obtain very good conducting silver films with the resistivity of $7.3\;{\mu}{\Omega}{\cdot}cm$ even though they were sintered at the very low temperature of $200^{\circ}C$. The electrical and mechanical properties of inkjet printed silver lines were measured with the sintering time and analyzed with the micro-structural development. The measured resistivity of inkjet printed Ag films were $57.4\;{\sim}\;7.3\;{\mu}{\Omega}{\cdot}cm$. And their hardness and Young's modulus were 0.98 ~ 1.72 GPa and 32 ~ 71 GPa, respectively.

ACF, which is used for the transparent electrode film is manufactured by the thermocompression method with conductive particles. However, the method has disadvantages since there are many wasted materials and the process is complex. To overcome the demerits of the conventional method, EHD printing technology with conductive particles ink is proposed. The line thickness of patterning is influenced by the characteristics of the inks and the printing conditions. Therefore, it is salient to find the most conducive conditions for the micro patterning. In this paper, the ink with conductive particles was manufactured, and the patterning results were obtained by varying the nozzle thickness and the flow rate. The electrical conductivity according to the ejection of the particles ink is obtained.

Dip-pen nanolithography(DPN) is an atomic force microscope (AFM) based method of generating nano- or micro-patterns. This technique has been used to transfer various ink materials on the substrate through water meniscus formed between AFM tip and the substrate surface. In this study, the heptadecafluoro-1,1,2,2-tetrahydrodecyltrimethoxysilane (HDFDTMS) ink materials were coated on the pre-coated AFM tip surface with the HDFDTMS molecules. When the tip brought into contact with the hydroxyl-functionalized silicon surface, HDFDTMS ink molecules have been successfully transported from the tip onto the surface via water meniscus. The created array and passivation area showed stable structures on the surface, and the transport of ink materials from the AFM tip to the surface followed linear increase in pattern size with contact time.

Although printing technology has recently been widely used in IT fields including displays and fuel cells, residual and thermal stress are generated by a manufacturing process of stacking the layers of the print head and result in the substrate deformation and nozzle plate crack, which may cause ink leaks or not be ejected onto a desired region. Therefore, in this paper, we propose a new design of thermal inkjet print head with a robust and reliable structure. Diverse types of inkjet print head such as a rib, pillar, support wall and individual feed hole are designed to reduce the deformation of the substrate and nozzle plate, and their feasibility is numerically investigated through FEA analysis. The numerical results show that the maximum stress and deformation of proposed print head dramatically drops to at least 40~50%, and it is confirmed that there is no nozzle plate cracks and ink leakage through the fabrication of pillar and support wall typed print head. Therefore, it is expected that the proposed head shape can be applied not only to ink ejection in the normal direction, but also to large-area printing technology.

This paper reports a customized silver ink and its inkjet printing process on a cellulose electro-active paper (EAPap). To synthesize a silver ink, silver nanoparticle is synthesized from silver nitrate, polyvinylpyrrolidone and ethylene glycol, followed by adding a viscosifier, hydroxyethyl-cellulose solution, and a surfactant, diethylene glycol. The silver ink is used in an inkjet printer (Fujifilm Dimatix DMP-2800 series) to print silver electrodes on cellulose EAPap. After printing, the electrodes are heat treated at $200^{\circ}C$. The sintered electrodes show that the thickness of the electrodes linearly increases as the number of printing layers increases. The electrical resistivity of the printed electrodes is $23.5{\mu}{\Omega}-cm$. This customized ink can be used in inkjet printer to print complex electrode patterns on cellulose EAPap to fabricate flexible smart actuators, flexible electronics and sensors.
