Vanishing Bubbles Shape a Printed Film
Tokyo researchers controlled nanoparticle deposits by changing bubble concentration, leaving no chemical additive behind after drying.
Summary
Tokyo researchers controlled nanoparticle deposits by changing bubble concentration, leaving no chemical additive behind after drying.
Tokyo Metropolitan University researchers added ultrafine bubbles to silica nanoparticle inks and found that bubble concentration could reshape the pattern left as each droplet dried. Conventional additives can remain in a printed film and alter electrical or sensing properties; the bubbles disappear. The technique may aid printed sensors and microelectronics, though repeatability across other inks remains to be demonstrated.
Why it matters
Tokyo researchers controlled nanoparticle deposits by changing bubble concentration, leaving no chemical additive behind after drying.
