환경문제에 대해 오래 전부터 관심을 가져온 선진국은 잉크의 수성화에 주력하여 왔으며, 그 결과 이미 수용성 소재의 양산체재에 들어가 수성 원료 사업을 대형화하는 추세에 있다. 이에 한화석유화학 중앙연구소에선 스티렌/아크릴계 수용성 High Solid 수지를 개발하여, 수성 잉크용 분산제, Resin Fortified Emulsion (RFE), UV Resist 잉크, 수성코팅제, 바닥광택제 등에 적요하기 위한 응용기술을 개발하였다. 본 연구는 수성 잉크의 주요 구성 성분인 grinding vehicle. let-down vehicle로 사용되는 수용성 High Solid 수지 (SAA 수지) 및 이를 이용한 에멀젼 수지의 합성과 수성 잉크로의 응용에 대한 것이다. SAA(HCC Soluryl Resin) 수지는 구조적으로 Styrene, Alpha-methyl Styrene, crylic Acid의 삼원공중합체이며 약 70%의 소수성 물질과 30%의 친수성 물질이 Random 하게 중합되어 있으며 약 5000∼15000정도의 낮은 분자량을 가진 물질로, 고고형분에서도 낮은 점도를 유지하기 위하여 분자량과 좁은 분자량과 좁은 분자량을 가지는 수지를 연속벌크중합방법으로 합성하였다. 또한 이를 고분자 유화제로서 사용하여 수지보강 에멀젼수지 (RFE 수지, HCC Soluryl Emulsion) 를 제조하는데 사용하였으며, SAA수지 및 RFE수지를 수성잉크용 분산제, 잉크 바인더용으로 적용하였다.

Recently, ink-jet printing technology has been applied for various industries such as semiconductor, display, ceramic tile decoration. Ink-jet printing has advantages of high resolution patterning, fast printing speed, high ink efficiency and many attempts have been made to apply functional materials with excellent physical and chemical properties for the ink-jet printing process. Due to these advantages, research scope of ink-jet printing is expanding from conventional two-dimensional printing to three-dimensional printing. In order to expand the application of ink-jet printing, it is necessary to optimize the rheological properties of the ink and the interaction with the substrate. In this study, photo curable ceramic complex ink containing nano silica particles were synthesized and its printability was characterized. Contact angle of the photo curable silica ink were modified by control of the ink composition and the surface property of the substrate. Effects of contact angle on printing resolution and three-dimensional printability were investigated in detail.

현재 인쇄전자 소자 생산을 위해 사용되고 있는 대부분의 그라비아 롤러는 미세 패턴의 보호와 인쇄 중 마찰에 대한 내구성을 향상시키기 위해 경질 크롬 도금 막이 사용되고 있다. 그러나 경질 크롬 도금 막의 경우 구현할 수 있는 경도(~1000 HV)와 이형성, 내마찰(마찰계수: ~ 0.6) 특성 등에 한계가 있다. 이러한 경질 크롬 도금이 적용된 그라비아 롤은 그 수명과 내구성, 구현할 수 있는 인쇄 품질 및 신뢰성 그리고 인쇄처리 속도 등에 있어 여러 문제가 있다. DLC(Diamond Like amorphous Carbon)는 낮은 마찰계수 값인 0.2 이하와 뛰어난 내마모성, 상대재료에 대한 이형성 등을 겸비한 표면강화 기술로 경질 크롬 도금막 대비 우수한 표면 경도(>1,800 HV) 특성을 갖으며, 합성된 DLC 코팅 막의 경우 정밀 인쇄 제판이 요구하는 표면거칠기를 구현할 가능성이 높다는 장점이 있다. 특히 실리콘이 첨가 된 Si-DLC의 경우 표면의 마찰계수를 0.1 이하까지 낮출 수 있는데 닥터블레이드 및 잉크, 인쇄 기재와의 마찰 훼손을 최소화시켜 그라비아 인쇄 롤의 수명을 향상시킬 수 있다. 또한 PECVD 공정을 이용하여 합성한 Si-DLC는 표면거칠기를 10nm 이하의 경면으로 구현할 수 있으며, 높은 접촉각에 의한 우수한 이형성을 통해 미세 패턴 내부에 전자잉크/페이스트가 잔류되는 현상을 억제할 수 있다. 이는 기존 경질 크롬 도금이 적용된 그라비아 롤에서 발생하는 패턴 내 잉크 잔류-고형화와 그에 의한 사용수명 단축현상을 현저히 개선시킬 수 있다.

Ink-jet printing technology with ceramic ink of the four digital primary colors (cyan, magenta, yellow, and black; CMYK) can provide stable coloration even in the high-temperature firing process. Ceramic ink-jet printing can be widely applied in construction and ceramic industries due to the advantages of accurate and fast printing process of digital images for various products. Generally, organic solvent with proper viscosity and surface tension has been used in digital ink-jet printing process. However, the needs of ceramic ink without VOCs emission is increasing. In the present study, eco-friendly ceramic ink was synthesized by combining alumino boro-silicate glass frit and $CoAl_2O_4$ inorganic pigment based on an aqueous solvent that does not generate VOCs. The rheological properties and dispersion stability of aqueous ceramic ink were optimized. Jetting behavior and printing characteristics of the ceramic ink were also investigated in detail. As a result, the formulated aqueous ceramic complex ink showed a suitable jetting behavior without satellite drop by adjusting viscosity and surface tension. The ceramic ink can be printed on glass substrate with minimized spreading phenomena duo to high contact angle.

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.

In this paper, trends on technology of metal and ceramic nanoparticle inks using eco-friendly process were reviewed. There are two types of eco-friendly processes, dry and wet. In case of dry process, gas evaporation process was being used to synthesize the ultrafine nanoparticles. Also, in case of wet process, low temperature process excluding harmful elements such as $Cl^-$ and ${NO_3}^-$ was being used to synthesize the ultrafine nanoparticles. Sizes of nanoparticles were less than 10 nm using the eco-friendly processes, and the nanoparticles were well dispersed into ink solvent. The ink was successfully applied to fabricate directly printed pattern.

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.
