Reactive inkjet printing uses an inkjet printer to dispense one or
more reactants onto a substrate to generate a physical or chemical
reaction to form a product in situ. Thus, unlike traditional inkjet
printing, the printed film chemistry differs to that of the initial
ink droplets. The appeal of reactive inkjet printing as a chemical
synthesis tool is linked to its ability to produce droplets whose size
is both controllable and predictable, which means that the individual
droplets can be thought of as building blocks where droplets can be
added to the substrate in a high precision format to give good control
and predictability over the chemical reaction. The book starts by
introducing the concept of using reactive inkjet printing as a
building block for making materials. Aspects such as the behaviour of
printed droplets on substrate and their mixing is discussed in the
first chapters. The following chapters then discuss different
applications of the technique in areas including additive
manufacturing and silk production, production of materials used in
solar cells, printed electronics, dentistry and tissue engineering.
Edited by two leading experts, Reactive Inkjet Printing: A Chemical
Synthesis Tool provides a comprehensive overview of this technique and
its use in fabricating functional materials for health and energy
applications. The book will appeal to advanced level students in
materials science.
