| Popis: | We first verify the critical role of solvent evaporation on the resolution of inkjet printing. To confirm our hypothesis, we adjusted the evaporation rate gradient along the surface of adjacent droplets by controlling the drying microenvironment. Uneven solvent evaporation flux caused thermocapillary surface flow inward the space of micrometer-sized droplets and increase the air pressure, which prevented the neighboring droplets from coalescence. When reducing the droplet distance by the solvent evaporation-based method, a uniform profile could be obtained at the same time. This work brings us a step closer to resolving one of the critical bottlenecks to commercializing printed electronic goods. |
