Tiny bubbles could revolutionize inkjet printing
Scientists at Tokyo Metropolitan University have created a method to control ink drying patterns in inkjet printing by using ultra-fine bubbles instead of chemical additives. This technique prevents uneven drying and is particularly useful for manufacturing high-precision microelectronics.
Researchers at Tokyo Metropolitan University have developed a new way to control how ink dries by adding ultra fine bubbles to ink droplets instead of chemical additives. By simply changing the number of bubbles in each droplet, the team found they could dramatically alter the pattern left behind as the liquid evaporated. The approach could be especially valuable for manufacturing tiny electronic devices, where leftover additives can interfere with the performance of printed materials.
