SIJTechnology, Inc. | info@sijtechnology.com Key Features Super fine patterning Droplet volume：0.1fl(femtoliter)～10pl(picoliter)　 Wide range of viscosity Viscosity range：0.5～10,000 mPa·s (non-heated) Large variety of usable fluids　 Conductive ink, Insulating ink, Resist ink, UV ink, Solvent ink, Protein materials, etc. Technical summary Super Inkjet technology allows the ejection of super-fine droplets much smaller than the droplets ejected by a conventional inkjet printer - 1/10 smaller in size and 1/1000 smaller in volume, that enable to print in extremely high definition patterning even in a sub micro meter resolution with many type of functional materials as ink. Super Inkjet system for R&D is compact enough, so it can be placed on a desktop. The printer allows single micron scale patterns comparable to the photolithographic methods to be drawn directly under normal temperature and normal atmospheric pressure. Inks Thanks to the wide range of viscosity. Super Inkjet technology can print a wide variety of inks. For example: Conductive ink: Silver, Gold, Cupper nano inks. Polymers: Insulating ink, Resist ink, PEDOT/PSS, Adhesive glue. Functional materials: Organic semiconductor, CNT, catalyst, Q-dots Biomaterial: Protein, Cell-containing solution, DNA solution Example of applications In Tandem Contact-Transfer Printing for High-Performan...

In order to realize highly bendable oxide TFT, we have developed a novel organic / inorganic dielectric layer. Our IGZO TFT with organic/inorganic hybrid dielectric layer can withstand one million bending tests at a bending radius of 1mm without employing the neutral plane concept. Applications for wearable motion sensors are also demonstrated. SAVE THE DATE...

Authors: Dr Adam Scotch and Jessica Albright Manually sampling for water monitoring is inefficient and inadequate Standard methods of detection for heavy metals and toxic inorganics involve manually sampling water followed by complex laboratory procedures and instrumentation with a slow turnaround time, all of which is subject to human error. A specialist might be needed for the sample collection, further adding to the expensive laboratory testing. Frequent calibration is required to ensure accuracy and reliability of measurements. Testing methods are not modular and follow a very specific procedure, which usually requires multiple systems to test for additional parameters, which can delay results up for up three days. Currently, there is not an in-line monitoring solution on the market able to detect on a part-per-billion range. The severe detriments of lead contamination The EPA has set the maximum contaminant level goal for lead in drinking water at zero because lead is a toxic metal that can be harmful to human health even at low levels. With nearly 412,000 deaths attributed to lead contamination annually in the United States, monitoring metal levels in water is a concern of life or death. There is no safe level of lead consumption for anyone. Lead is especially damaging for children and can damage developing brains leading to reduced intelligence quotient (IQ), attention span, impaired learning ability, and increased risk of behavioral problems. Prompt detection and re...

Speaker: Philippe Berrouard Company: Brilliant Matters With ever increasing energy needs, rising environmental regulations and a clear paradigm shift in the energy sector towards energy production from renewable sources, there is an immediate need for cost-effective and rapidly deployable renewables. Organic photovoltaics (OPVs) are a 3rd generation solar cell technology which can be mass produced using R2R printing methods and are made from earth abundant organic materials capable of efficiently harvesting light energy both in indoor and outdoor environments. Due to their incredible versatility, they can be made lightweight, flexible and partially transparent, which enables their use in many applications including agrivoltaics (greenhouses), IoT or building-integrated applications. This presentation will discuss some of the latest materials innovations from Brilliant Matters which enable the advancement of OPV technologies. SAVE THE DATE...

As applications for conductive inks continue to emerge in Printed Electronics, so do the substrates that these inks are printed onto also expand. Many of these substrates such as PVDF, PVC and PC require to be processed at temperatures much lower than what a conventional Polymer Thick Film (PTF) ink can be processed. Heat Stabilized PET has traditionally been used because of its dimensional stability at the temperatures (120°C – 140°C) required to process conventional inks. Nagase ChemteX America, LLC. (NCU) has developed a silver (CI-1095) low-temperature, curing conductive ink for Printed Electronics applications. The silver ink can be processed at 80°C for <10 minutes and achieve resistivity suitable for most Printed Electronics applications. In Figure 1, below, is a chart comparing CI-1095 processed at 80°C compared to a conventional PTF ink, CI-1036. Figure 1
As can be seen in Figure 1 CI-1095 after 8 minutes at 80°C has resistivity of 0.020 ohm/sq/mil whereas the CI-1036 is 3.5x higher. This is excellent resistivity for processing at 80°C. While the CI-1095 does process at 80°C this does NOT have a negative impact on screen life. Figure 2 shows that the CI-1095 has comparable screen life compared to CI-1036. Figure 2 In testing screen life, NCU placed each material on the screen and made prints every 15 minutes for two hours. There was negligible change in dry film thickness (DFT) for the low temp ink, CI-1095, and the conventional cure ink, CI-1036. This would indica...
