The satellite drops and the splashing on the substrate are also discussed for optimization of the nozzle temperature and the jetting voltage. The minimum horizontal and vertical line widths are shown to be 30 and 40 µm, respectively, but the average minimum single line width is estimated to be ~50 µm. The non-uniform width lines are suggested to arise from the bulge instability. Furthermore, it is indicated that the surface roughness of the PI film causes the non-parallel contact line pinning. The resistivity of printed lines is also reported.http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/Inkjet PrintingAg nanoparticleflexible printed electronicsBiochemistry, Biophysics, and Structural BiologyBiomedical Engineering and BioengineeringChemical EngineeringChemistryElectrical and Computer EngineeringEngineering Science and MaterialsMaterials Science and EngineeringPhysicsReport
