Inkjet Printing of Viscous Monodisperse Microdroplets by Laser-Induced Flow Focusing

Demetri Psaltis, François Gallaire, Christophe Moser, Paul Delrot, Miguel Antonio Modestino

The on-demand generation of viscous microdroplets to print functional or biological materials remains challenging using conventional inkjet-printing methods, mainly due to aggregation and clogging issues. In an effort to overcome these limitations, we impl ...

Laser-assisted inkjet printing of highly viscous fluids with sub-nozzle resolution

Demetri Psaltis, Christophe Moser, Paul Delrot, Miguel Antonio Modestino

Drop-on-demand inkjet printing is mostly based on thermal and piezo-actuation, allowing for densely packed nozzles in inkjet printers. However, the droplet diameter is typically defined by the nozzle diameter, thus limiting the range of viscosity that can ...
