One Line DescriptionThe volume comprehensively covers the rapidly developing field of printing inks and their many important applications in the electronics and medical industries
Audience
Researchers and engineers in chemistry, polymer science, materials science, electronics engineering, biotechnology, medical and electronic device manufacturers, as well as the ink/dye industry.
DescriptionIn the last few years, research and interest in printing inks has literally exploded in the journal and patent literature so it is timely that we now have a compendium to document these important developments. The book focuses on the chemistry of inkjet printing inks as well on the special applications of these materials with particular emphasis on the medical and electronic applications.
After an introductory section to the general aspects of the field, the types and uses of inkjet printing inks are summarized followed by an overview on the testing methods. Special compounds used as additives dyes, and pigments in inkjet printing inks are documented.
The applications to the medical field – drug delivery systems, tissue engineering, bioprinting, 3-D printing - as well as their fabrication methods, are detailed. The applications in the electronics industry are also documented such as flexible electronics, integrated circuits, liquid crystal displays, RFID, solar cells, along with descriptions of their special inks.
A chapter on 3-D printing discusses the basic principles, rapid prototyping, as well as their uses and applications.
The Chemistry of Printing Inks and Their Electronics and Medical Applications incorporates many structures of the organic compounds used for inkjet printing inks as some of the polymer and organic chemists using the book may not be familiar with them.
The book concludes with four indices: an index of tradenames, an index of acronyms, an index of chemicals, and a general index.
