The method for spraying of liquids through an electrical field has become a printing method since it can make very small droplet. For electro-hydrodynamic jet printing to become a reliable jetting tool, the jetting performance should be characterized with respect to various jetting conditions. To optimize jetting conditions, the jetting behavior should be measured. In this study, we present a visualization techniques to measure jetting behavior from electro-hydrodynamic (EHD) inkjet head. Unlike most previous method, we use the CCD camera to measure the jetting behavior. For this purpose, LED light is synchronized with jetting signal and sequential image was obtained by adjusting the delay time of the LED light. Finally, merits and demerits of using CCD camera were discussed to measure jetting image from EHD inkjet head.

Inkjet printhead may have a lot of nozzles to increase productivity as a manufacturing tool. So, the uniformity of jetting performance among a lot of nozzles has been one of the key issues in inkjet technology In this study, we investigated the cross-talk effect which should be reduced for uniform jetting performance among a lot of nozzles. Due to the cross-talk, the jetting performance of a nozzle can be affected when neighboring nozzles are firing. For experimental study, we used commercial inkjet head SE-128 from Dimatix. To understand the cross-talk effect of SE-128 head, we measured the change in jetting speed of a nozzle when neighboring nozzles are jetting. The measured jetting speed was compared to the case of one nozzle jetting. Also, we used laser vibrometer to measure change in pressure wave due to cross-talk. As a result of the cross-talk, the jetting speed can become faster or sometimes slower depending on firing nozzle location. If the all nozzle are jetting, the jetting speed of a nozzle became slower because the pressure wave for jetting is reduced.

Ink-jetting characteristics of pulse width and pulse amplitude for a piezoelectric ink jet printer driver have been mapped with various polymer EL ink. In this study, the jetting characteristics have been classified into 4 regime; no Jetting, unstable jetting, stable jetting, and spraying, and the importance of fluid viscosity on the scope of the stable jetting regime has been emphasized. The relation between jetting speed and the width and amplitude of driving signal has also been investigated and the effect of the speed on the jetting characteristics has been discussed.

Electrohydrodynamic (EHD) printing has gained significant interest after a direct writing with a resolution of a few tens nanometer was demonstrated using EHD. Basically, EHD use the electric field to generate droplet which is much smaller than nozzle diameter, so that high resolution printing is possible and the clogging problem can be alleviated as well. However, to adapt this technology to the real application, the fundamental studies are necessary to stabilize EHD jetting, to maximize jetting frequency, and to optimize the design of multi EHD nozzle, etc. In this study, by imaging EHD jetting using high speed camera and measuring the current, the effect of electric field intensity and back pressure on jetting frequency and jetting diameter were studied.

Surface defects in injection molded parts are due to the unsteady flow of polymer melt which are related to the geometries of cavity and gate, the operational conditions of injection and the rheological properties of polymer. In this study we have examined jetting phenomena in injection molding process for three kinds of PCs which have different molecular weight and structure, PBT and PC/ABS alloy with several injection speeds. We have used various cavity shapes that are tensile, flexural and impact test specimens with various gate and cavity thicknesses. Through this study we have observed that the formation of surface defect associated with jetting during filling stage in injection molding is strongly related to die swell. This means that the jetting is strongly affected by the elastic property rather than the viscous property in viscoelastic characteristics of molten polymer. Large die swell would eliminate jetting however, the retardation of die swell would stimulate jetting. In the point of mold design, reducing the thickness ratio of cavity to gate can reduce or eliminate jetting and associated surface defects regardless of magnitude of elastic property. It also enlarges process window that can produce steady flow of polymer melt in injection molding.

The water jetting system for a jack-up spudcan requires the suitable design considering the platform/spudcan particulars, environments, and soil conditions, either the surficial clay or surficial sand. The usage of water jetting depends critically on soil conditions. The water jetting is usually used for the smooth and fast extraction of the spudcan in the surficial clay condition. It is also required for inserting spudcan up to the required depth in the surficial sand condition, which is investigated in this paper. Especially, it should be very careful to use the water jetting during an installation of spudcan in the surficial sand condition, because there is a risk of overturning accident related to the punch-through. Therefore, in this study, the effect of water jetting flow rate and time on the change of soil properties and penetration resistance is analyzed to better understand their interactions and correlations when inserting the spudcan with water jetting in surficial sand condition. For the investigation, a wind turbine installation jack-up rig (WTIJ) is selected as the target platform and the multi layered soil (surficial sand overlaying clays) is considered as the soil condition. The environmental loading and soil-structure interaction (SSI) analysis are performed by using CHARM3D and ANSYS. This kind of investigation and simulation is needed to decide the proper water jetting flow rate and time of spudcan for the given design condition.

The formation of surface defects associated with Jotting in injection molding is related to the geometries of cavity and fate, operational conditions and the rheological properties of polymer. In this study we have examined jetting phenomena in injection molding process for the throe kinds of PCs which have different molecular weights and structures, PBT and PC/ABS alloy with several injection speeds. We have used various cavity shapes those are tensile, flexural and impact test specimens with various gates and cavity thicknesses. Through this study we have observed that the jetting is related to the dic swell of material. This means that the jotting is strongly affected by the elastic flow property rather than the viscous flow property in viscoelastic characteristics of molten polymer. Different resins have different elastic properties, and elastic flow behavior depends on the shear rate of flow, i.e. injection speed. Large die swell would eliminate jetting however, the retardation of die swell would stimulate jetting. In the point of mole design, reducing the thickness ratio of cavity to gate can reduce or eliminate jetting regardless of amount of elasticity of polymer melt.

사출성형에서 수지의 불안정한 흐름에 의해 성형품에 표면결함이 발생되는데 이는 gate의 치수, 운전조건 그리고 고분자 용융물의 유변학적 성질과 밀접한 관련이 있다. 본 연구에서는 PC, PBT, 그리고 PC/ABS alloy에 대해 다양한 사출속도에서 성형품의 표면결함의 형성에 대해서 조사하였다. 표면결함의 형성을 조사하기 위해 여러 가지 cavity 모양, 즉 기계적 물성 측정에 쓰이는 인장, 굴곡 그리고 충격시편의 형상을 이용하여 이들의 cavity와 gate의 두께를 다양하게 하여 실험하였다. 본 연구를 통해 사출성형의 충진 과정에서 letting에 의한 표면결함은 die swell과 die swell의 지연에 크게 영향을 받음을 관찰할 수 있었다. 큰 die swell은 jetting을 없애는데 유리하나 die swell의 지연이 커지면 jetting을 촉진시킨다. Cavity와 gate의 두께 비를 작게 하면 수지의 종류에 관계없이 jetting과 표면결함을 줄이거나 없앨 수 있다. 또한 작은 두께비는 사출성형에서 고분자 용융물의 안정된 흐름을 유지시키기 위할 작업 조건들의 선택의 폭을 넓게 하여 준다.

잉크젯 프린팅이 전자 및 디스플레이 산업의 생산라인에 적용됨에 따라, 생산효율을 극대화하기 위해 잉크액적 토출불량 검사 소요시간의 단축이 요구되고 있다. 기존의 잉크액적 토출불량 검사방법은 주로 고배율 렌즈와 CCD 카메라를 직선운동을 하는 스테이지 상에 설치하여 잉크젯 프린트 헤드의 노즐배열과 평행한 방향으로 순차적으로 이동시키면서 토출되는 잉크액적을 비젼검사하는 것이었다. 그러나, 기존 방식은 60 초 혹은 그 이상의 검사시간을 요구하며, 특히 잉크액적 토출불량을 장시간 지속적으로 검사하는 것은 불필요한 기계적 진동을 야기시키는 문제점이 있었다. 본 연구에서는 회전미러 방식의 고속 잉크젯 모니터링 모듈을 설계하여 검사시간을 18 초 내외로 단축하였으며, 검사 소요시간 단축을 위한 모듈의 설계 고려사항들에 대해 논의하도록 한다.
