초록

Interaction of a droplet and substrate is important to determine the coating and final deposition pattern in inkjet printing system. In particular, an accurate deposition of the droplet should be guaranteed for high-resolution patterning. In this study, we performed high-speed shadowgraph experiments on droplet train impact in inkjet system. From the high-speed images, we observed an unexpected bouncing phenomenon. We have found two factors affecting bouncing regime; the Weber number and the curvature of deposited droplet. Experimental results indicate that there is a critical curvature diameter of deposited droplet, which splits into bouncing and merging regime. From this result, we obtained a power-law behavior between the Weber number and the curvature. The understanding of bouncing phenomena helps to improve the accuracy and productivity of inkjet printing.
