| Abstract Scope |
Aerosol jet printing (AJP) is a novel additive manufacturing technique that allows high-resolution features on the order of tens of microns to be printed onto various substrates. Electronics utilizing AJP components can be used to advance modern technologies such as sensors and medical devices. However, for this process to transition to commercial practice, prints must be generated efficiently and with minimal error. This study aims to evaluate precursor and nanoparticle ink deposition on polyimide film with optical microscopy. Custom image analysis software outputs a series of measurements characterizing deposition. Results from this study will improve the consistency of AJP products and further their potential in flexible electronics. |
