Inkjet printing involves several key challenges. An important aspect is the flow dynamics
after deposition of an ink droplet onto a substrate. The drop will evaporate and--if the …

Inkjet printing has attracted much attention in recent years due to its ability to dispense
precise amounts of functional materials onto targeted areas. Although evidence exists for a …

Inkjet printing allows for the controlled, contactless deposition of functional picolitre droplets.
Industrial applications of droplets are varied and use complex formulations, the motivation of …

Inkjet printing delivers droplets with picolitre volumes onto a substrate. This thesis focuses
on improving the quality of inkjet prints by controlling the particle distribution in the deposit …

Inkjet printing is a complex process including coupled wetting, heat and species transport.
The print quality depends on accurate positioning of ink droplets and correct dot sizes …

Surfactants are often present in fluids used in inkjet printing technology. There is therefore a
need to develop a better understanding of the mechanisms underlying the surfactant …

This work investigates the deposition patterns left by evaporating particle-laden droplets on
heterogeneous surfaces with spatially varying wettability. Spatial differences in receding …

By combining a previously developed model of droplet spreading with simple equations to
describe liquid penetration, we develop a versatile new model that successfully describes …

When a colloidal drop with a pinned contact line (CL) dries on a substrate, the solvent flow
induced by the high evaporation rate at the CL carries micro-and nanoparticles to the drop …

Inkjet printing is an important field of research for many industrial applications. In particular,
the inkjet-printing technology is widely used in the production of a text or graphics of …
