Abstract:

In order to improve the forming quality of the conductive circuit on a fabric surface printed by the microdroplet jet printing technique, a high-speed camera was used to capture the process of droplet-jet printing conductive circuit in view of the bulged deposition lines at the start. The dynamic changes of left and right contact angles during the fusion oscillation between droplet, the fusion of droplet with the circuits and the process of transporting liquid to the starting of the line were studied according to the bulge elimination scheme. The results show that during the oscillation process of droplets coalescence, the oscillation trend towards the starting end is always greater than the other end, causing continuous expansion of the substrate wetting area at start of the printing circuit. After the droplets contact the circuit, part of the liquid wets the substrate to extend the length of the circuit, and the rest of the liquid is transported to the starting of the circuit at a constant speed to form a bulge. The surface of the fabric moistened with the ascorbic acid solution eliminates the bulging at the start of the forming circuit, leading to formation of expected uniform dimension of the deposited lines.

Key words: intelligent textile, microdroplet jetting, conductive circuit, deposition formation, bulge at start
