Abstract

Printing of functional materials requires reliable deposition processes. This work describes the development of printing processes for selected functional materials utilizing industrial-type inkjet printheads. A well-controlled printing process with fluids containing the conductive polymer poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) polystyrene sulfonate (PEDOT:PSS) is presented, allowing linear printing speeds of up to 0.35 m/s in single-pass, and smallest line width of approximately 40 μm when printing 7 pL drop volumes. In addition reliable processes for producing ZnO-based films, which enable novel applications for electronic and UV-sensitive devices, and for printing of conductive carbon nanotube layers are shown.
