그라비아 프린팅 공정에서 고해상도의 패턴을 인쇄하기 위해서는 잉크가 기판으로 전사되는 양을 높이는 것이 중요하다. 일반적으로 잉크와 기판의 친화도가 높을수록 더 많은 양의 잉크를 전사시킬 수 있다. 하지만, 실제 산업에서 쓰이는 점탄성 잉크와 다양한 기판의 친화도를 정확히 평가하는 방법은 아직 제시된 바 없다. 본 연구에서는 점탄성 잉크와 다양한 기판의 계면 친화도를 실용적으로 평가할 수 있는 방안을 제시하고자 한다.

To increase the ink transfer rate in the micro-gravure-offset printing, the liquid transfer process between two separating plates is investigated. During the liquid transfer process, in which one plate is fixed and the other one moves vertically, a sessile droplet is separated into two droplets. The volume ratio of the two droplets depends on the contact angles of the two plates. In a numerical study of the ink transfer processes, liquid transfer between two parallel separating plates and between a trapezoidal cavity and an upward moving plate are simulated, as models of the printing of ink from the offset pad onto the substrate and the picking up of ink from the gravure plate by the offset pad, respectively. Also, in experimental study, to obtain various surface contact angles, chemical treatment, plasma treatment, and electrowetting- on-dielectric (EWOD) surface are considered. The transfer rate between two plates is calculated by analyzing the droplet images. From the results, the optimal surface contact angles of the units of the micro-gravure-offset printing can be characterized.

This paper examines attaching speed, detaching speed and contact time which affected in the ink transfer ratio and presents the best conditions for fabrication process of electrodes with Ag-ink using microcontact printing method. In conclusion, it shows the best printing characteristic by two conditions. One of condition is the attaching speed have to within less than 1mm/s and the detaching speed is high velocity as 1000mm/s and the contact time is taken about the minimum time when inking process. Another condition is the attaching speed have to within more than 100mm/s and the detaching speed have to within less than 1mm/s and the contact time is longer than 30second when the printing process. As using these condition and the stamp sized 5cm${\times}$5cm, it was possible for printing equally until $30{\mu}m$ of width. The printed thickness of a electrode was about 300 to 500 nm, the surface roughness was about dozens nm under 50 nm.

Ink transfer process from the printing roll to the moving web was investigated using a CFD technique for the application in R2R printed electronics. In line with the requirement that the web handling speed needs to be increased further for the cost competitiveness, the effects of web moving velocity with relatively complex roll patterns were analyzed. To make the present analysis more realistic, the numerical geometry and the ink properties were selected to match those of the real printing production system. Our numerical results showed that both web handling speed and complex printing-roll patterns influenced the shape of the transferred ink. As the web moving speed approaches towards 30mpm, a significant distortion of the shape of the transferred ink occurred. In the range of pattern width smaller than 100 microns, a phase distortion was also found to occur in all the printing-roll patterns considered in the present work but the ratio of the phase distortion to the line width gets smaller as the width becomes smaller. Thus, the web handling speed and the shape of printing-roll pattern will be important elements for the better printing quality under 100 micron line width range.

The one of the most important issue in roll-to-roll gravure printing is increase of ink transfer ratio or printability. As the result of high ink transfer ratio or printability, we can assess the quality of the printed patterns. The rheological properties are the important factors for the printability of electrodes patterning. In this study, the rheological properties of conductive ink are controlled by adding the solvent. The inks with different rheological properties are used for the patterning of the electrodes of $100{\mu}m$ by gravure printing equipment. The various printing speed, which also affect the rheological properties of conductive ink, is applied and the printed patterns are compared for their width and aspect ratio. Decreasing in the ink viscosity as well as increasing in the printing speed decreases the printability in gravure patterning, which shows that the rheological properties are important factors for the printability of gravure patterning.

Offset paper printing is a promising roll-to-roll technique for color printed materials. Although it is no doubt that understanding ink transfer mechanism in offset printing process is necessary to achieve high printing quality, investing the relationship between inks and substrates at the nip is difficult experimentally due to high printing speed. In this paper, rheological behavior and splitting point of the ink at the nip is studied using package software Ployflow and Flow 3D based on Navier-Stokes equation. Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) ink and IGT printability tester were used for an model ink and experiment to compare with that of simulation data, respectively. As a result, higher viscosity at state flow and pressure increased ink transfer due to higher possibility of presence of cavitation at the nip and increase in covering area ratio. These results have shown good agreements with experimental data compared by measuring density of print through.

The rheological characteristics of an ink relate to its performance on the press and to the printing quality such as ink stability, transfer characteristics, mottle, squash, misting, dot gain, and so on. For lithographic print, the emulsification of ink is an important factor to determine the product. And also the rheological characteristics of the emulsified ink should be investigated. Thus, in this study, the effects of the changing molecular weight of rosin modified phenolic resin on the water-pickup ratio of neat inks were studied. And then rheological properties of neat inks and emulsified inks with changing molecular weight of rosin modified phenolic resin were analyzed by using rotational rheometer.

본 논문에서는 금속 전극을 미세접촉인쇄방식으로 Ag ink를 이용하여 제작하는데 있어서 접착속도, 분리속도, 접촉시간의 세 가지의 동역학적 파라미터가 잉크 전이율에 미치는 영향을 분석하여 최적의 공정조건을 도출하였다. 잉킹공정에서는 접촉속도는 1 mm/s 이하, 접촉 후 유지시간은 짧게 하며, 분리속도는 1000 mm/s로 빠르게 해야 잉크의 전이율이 98%이상 높았다. 프린팅 공정에서는 반대로 접촉속도는 100mm/s 이상의 빠르게, 접촉 후 유지시간은 30초 이상, 분리속도는 1mm/s 이하로 느리게 할 때 최고의 인쇄특성을 보였다. 이를 이용해 전체 $5cm{\times}5cm$ 면적에 최소 선폭 $30{\mu}m$, 두께는 300~500nm, 50nm이하의 약 $15{\sim}16{\mu\Omega\cdot}cm$ 비저항을 가지는 전극을 인쇄하였다.
