In this study, the influence of the physical properties of ink such as ink dispersity and emulsified amount on the printability of a coated paper was investigated with seven kinds of cyan inks. In addition, two kinds of coating formulations were tested to evaluate the effect of coating structure on the coated paper printability. It was found that the cyan ink with $2{\mu}m$ pigment size had the best dispersibility and hence the ink showed a best ink density on the two kinds of coated papers. When the emulsified ink A with IPA 20 wt% had a lower viscosity than emulsified ink B with IPA 10 wt%, the emulsified ink A showed relatively high value of the ink transfer rate in comparison with emulsified ink B. Despite the high value of ink transfer rate, the coated paper did not show a good printability because those inks with low viscosity due to a strong emulsification were easy to make print mottle on the coated paper.

We prepared polyester-polyamines to improve the effect of carbon black dispersibility for use in thermal transfer ink, and synthesized polymeric dispersing agents by two-step reactions. In the first step, we made polyester by polycondensing 1,6-hexanediol and adipic acid. The resulting polymers had carboxylic acid, which was linked with polyamine via an acid-base reaction. We then characterized the polyester-polyamine structure by NMR spectroscopy and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR). We also determined the basic characterizations such as total acid numbers (TAN) (5.0-67.5 mgKOH/g), hydroxyl values (27.1-67.5 mgKOH/g), and molar masses ($M_n=1.6-8.4kg\;mol^{-1}$) for the polyester and total base numbers (TBN) (15.3-57.1 mgKOH/g), hydroxyl values (33.0-79.8 mgKOH/g), and nitrogen contents (1.02-3.48%) for the polyester-polyamine polymers. We thus prepared thermal transfer ink using carbon blacks and the polyester-polyamine dispersing agents, and evaluated the resulting mixtures for printability, adhesive force, storage stability, ink appearance, ink gloss, and processability. These mixtures showed significant dispersibility for carbon black in the ink. Thus, we concluded that the dispersibility of the polymeric materials depended on the polyamine structure and the hydrophilicity-hydrophobicity distribution of the polymeric dispersants.

In recent years, the water-based ink have been widely used in various industrial applications due to environmental problems. Dispersibility of the pigment for applications of the water-based ink is the one of the most important technical factors to produce uniform color products. Thus, in this study, the three-roll mill process was used to improve the dispersion of the water-based ink. The results indicated that the three-roll mill reduced the size of pigment particles in the ink more than 50%. In addition, the dispersant showed an important role to maintain the dispersion stability of the pigment in the water-based ink over 120 hours. We also confirmed the optimum contents of the ink stock solution, drying temperature and drying time by the colorimeter and colorfastness tests on produced PET synthetic suedes.

In this study, we have coated the inner surface of YSZ channel using LSM powder ink through depressurization process for making the cathode of a stacked planar-type SOFC module. To coat the surface of YSZ channel uniformly, we tried to find the optimum manufacturing condition for LSM ink. We used four different dispersants (BYK series) and two different solvents (ethanol and DMF) to make the LSM ink. It was revealed that the ink made with the ethanol solvent and the BYK-111 dispersant has the lowest viscosity, relatively low contact angle and most excellent dispersibility. After depressurizing a chamber filled with LSM ink and sintered YSZ channel, we have found that the YSZ channel was uniformly coated with LSM cathode. The LSM ink with 25 vol% BYK-111 showed the most uniform coating.

Zirconia nanoparticles were widely used as filler in order to get high refractive index layer. However, dispersion of nanoparticles is difficult due to their agglomeration in solvent. In this study, the dispersibility of the zirconia suspension is promoted by controlling the steric hindrance and electrostatic interactions through the adsorption of PEI according to alkali treatment time. Also, to induce improved dispersibility on suspension, we changed the dispersion conditions variously and fabricated an ink formulation method for the coating layer. Zirconia suspension was characterized by dynamic light scattering (DLS), Zeta potential measurement, Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM) and FT-IR. We were able to confirm that good dispersion of zirconia suspension by alkali treatment and PEI led to high refractive index.

Soft-pressure sensors have numerous applications in soft robotics, biomedical devices, and wearable smart devices. Herein, we present a highly sensitive electronic skin device with an isotropic wrinkled pressure sensor. A conductive ink for soft pressure sensors is produced by a solution process using polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS), poly 3-hexylthiophene (P3HT), carbon black, and chloroform as the solvents. P3HT provides high reproducibility and conductivity by improving the ink dispersibility. The conductivity of the ink is optimized by adjusting the composition of the carbon black and PDMS. Soft lithography is used to fabricate a conductive elastic structure with an isotropic wrinkled structure. Two conductive elastic structures with an isotropic wrinkle structure is stacked to develop a pressure sensor, and it is confirmed that the isotropic wrinkle structure is more sensitive to pressure than when two elastic structures with an anisotropic wrinkle structure are overlapped. Specifically, the pressure sensor fabricated with an isotropic wrinkled structure can detect extremely low pressures (1.25 Pa). Additionally, the sensor has a high sensitivity of 15.547 kpa^-1 from 1.25 to 2500 Pa and a linear sensitivity of 5.15 kPa^-1 from 2500 Pa to 25 kPa.

세라믹 잉크젯 기술은 아트타일, 장식용 도자기 등에 이용되고 있으며, 원료의 효율이 높고 낮은 제작비용으로 다양한 이미지를 빠르고 정확하게 인쇄할 수 있다는 장점을 가지고 있다. 잉크젯 프린팅 타일에 나노세라믹안료를 적용하기 위해서는 안정적인 잉크분산성 확보가 필수적이다. 본 논문에서는 잉크젯 인쇄용 수계 pink-red 세라믹잉크의 특성을 보여주고 있다. $CaCr_{0.1}Sn_{0.8}SiO_5$ 안료는 고상법을 이용하여 합성하였고, 잉크 토출 시 잉크젯 헤드의 노즐 막힘을 방지하기 위해 어트리션밀을 이용하여 분쇄한 안료를 사용 하였다. 수계 세라믹잉크 제조 시 $CaCr_{0.1}Sn_{0.8}SiO_5$ 나노안료의 농도는 10 wt%로 고정하였고, sodium dodecyl sulfate(SDS)를 0.4 wt% 첨가 하였을 때 최적의 분산성을 가지는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 또한 수계 세라믹 잉크의 원활한 토출을 위해 polyvinyl alcohol(PVA)을 0.18 wt% 첨가하여 점도 조절을 하였다. 제조된 pinkred 세라믹 잉크는 토출 시 $180{\mu}s$ 이후 구형의 단일액적을 형성 하는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.

The modified surface of specialty carbon black(SCB) is one of the main technical factors for producing a uniform color and stable dispersion. In this work, the carboxylation or sulfonation process of SCB was used to improve the dispersive properties of hydrophilic solvents such as 1,6-hexanediol and propylene glycol monomethyl ether acetate(PGMEA). The results showed that the color strength of SCB DC2500G changed little with a range of 0.128~0.941(${\Delta}E$) compared to other SCB DC2500G material. In contrast, in the case of SCB EG410, there was a uniform color value with a range of 0.144~0.252(${\Delta}E$). Also, in our experiments, a modified SCB was confirmed by printing ink material as a melt coating paper. It may be possible that the SCB EG410 material can be advantageous as a gravure ink product. Finally, the modified SCB obtained from this research will have a large impact on the industry as a potential material for toners, paint, rubber, fillers, and other carbon black additives.

최근 인쇄용지는 단순히 정보 전달의 기능을 넘어서 미적, 예술적 가치가 부가면서 고품질의 인쇄가 가능한 도공지(coated paper)에 대한 시장의 수요가 증가하고 있다. 특히 실사급 고품질의 인쇄가 가능한 잉크젯 프린팅의 도공지는 잉크의 인쇄적성을 향상시키기 위하여 표면에 젖음성(wettability)과 다공성 구조(porous structure)를 갖는 도공층의 역할이 매우 중요하다. 본 연구에서는 나노 실리카 졸 입자에 실란 커플링제로 표면처리하고 수용성 결합제인 폴리비닐알콜(PVA)와 혼합하여 도공액(coating color)를 제조하고 원지(base paper)에 코팅하여 도공층을 제조하였다. 실란 커플링제로 표면처리한 나노 실리카 도공층은 표면처리하지 않은 도공층과 비교하여 균일한 기공 분포 및 평탄한 표면 거칠기를 가지며, 판매용 고급 인화지와 유사한 광택도를 갖는 것을 확인하였다. 특히 잉크의 망점(dot)에 대한 진원도로 평가하는 인쇄적성 평가 결과 실란 커플링제로 표면처리한 도공지는 다층 구조의 도공층을 갖는 판매용 고급 인화지보다 더 우수한 결과를 얻을 수 있었다. 이러한 결과는 실란 커플링제 표면처리를 통하여 나노 실리카 입자의 분산성이 향상되어 우수한 젖음성과 균일한 기공 분포를 갖는 도공층 형성이 가능하였기 때문으로 확인되었다.
