Methods for Producing Coaxial Structures Using a Microfluidic Jet

Номер: US20140027952A1
Автор: David Bohling, David Michael Keicher, Fa-Gung Fan, Marcelino Essien
Принадлежит: INTEGRATED DEPOSITION SOLUTIONS Inc

The object of the invention is the provision of methods for controlled production of continuous multi-component filaments or discreet structures using a multi-component liquid jet issuing from an orifice. A multi-component jet consists of two or more liquids. The liquids may be miscible or immiscible, and form a co-axially propagating flow along the central axis of a flow cell. The working distance between the exit orifice and a substrate can be as large as 50 mm, so that in-flight processing of the jet is possible. The coaxial flow consists of an outer sheath liquid and an inner sample liquid or composite of liquids. The flow cell and the exit channel of the deposition head are heated so that the pressurized sheath liquid temperature is raised to near or above the boiling point of the sheath liquid at the local atmospheric pressure. The jet exits the deposition head through the orifice, and the outer liquid is evaporated as the jet falls at atmospheric pressure. The sheath liquid is processed thermally, optically, or chemically during flight to form a protective or insulating layer for the inner liquid or liquids. The inner liquids may contrastingly consist of an ultraviolet (UV) curable ink that is processed in-flight or after deposition. Since UV curable inks contain no volatile components, the coaxial jetted filament can be processed without producing cracks or bubbles in the sheath layer. Line widths are produced in the range from approximately 1 to 1000 microns.

A printer deposits material onto a substrate as part of a manufacturing process for an electronic product; at least one transported component experiences error, which affects the deposition. This error is mitigated using transducers that equalize position of the component, e.g., to provide an “ideal” conveyance path, thereby permitting precise droplet placement notwithstanding the error. In one embodiment, an optical guide (e.g., using a laser) is used to define a desired path; sensors mounted to the component dynamically detect deviation from this path, with this deviation then being used to drive the transducers to immediately counteract the deviation.

A method of creating a bulk product that includes a surface layer of specialized content is based upon the use of an excipient with a different surface tension such that self-differentiating of the excipient from the bulk during drying/curing transports the specialized material to the surface of the bulk product. When the excipient has a lower surface tension than the bulk material, the difference in surface tension causes the low surface tension material to rise to the top surface, bringing the specialized material along. Alternatively, if the excipient has a higher surface tension than the bulk material, it will transport the specialized material to the bottom surface of the product. 1. A method of creating a specialized coating layer on a product transforming into final form from a liquid/slurry initial stage , comprising the steps of:{'sub': 'prod', 'a) providing a bulk product material in liquid/slurry form, the bulk product material exhibiting a surface tension σ;'}{'sub': liq', 'prod, 'b) selecting a transport liquid with a surface tension σthat is different from σ;'}c) dispersing a specialized material component into the transport liquid;{'sub': prod', 'liq, 'd) mixing the transport liquid with the dispersion of the specialized material created in step c) with the bulk product material provided in step a), wherein the difference in surface tensions (σ≠σ) causes the transport liquid to entrap the specialized material and move the specialized material to a surface of the bulk product material during transformation into its final form.'}2.
