| Abstract Scope |
Aerosol jet printing is a versatile fabrication technology for additive electronics, with particular advantages for conformal patterning and prototyping. However, the mechanistic complexity of this process poses challenges for material and process development. The vast parameter space, across ink formulation, print settings, and toolpath design, challenges optimization efforts and slows adaptation to specific requirements. This presentation will focus our lab’s efforts to build a more comprehensive fundamental understanding of aerosol jet printing and apply that framework to guide material and process development. This will focus on material-process coupling at different stages of the printing system, including the atomizer, the printhead, and the substrate. General principles of aerosol jet printing will be discussed in the context of specific case studies to highlight relevance for guided materials and process development. |
