The developed individual ink characteristics allowed us to produce a close coherence between the enhanced optical properties of the Sc-TiO 2 prepared the sol–gel method and the inkjet-printed films.

The rheological parameters of the colloidal suspension based on the synthesized Sc-TiO 2 nanoparticles were adapted for inkjet printing in terms of the optimal viscosity, morphology, and surface tension. The changes in the spectral and structural characteristics of the Sc-TiO 2 composites were observed by Energy Dispersive X-Ray spectroscopy (EDX), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and UV-vis methods. Without affecting the anatase structure substantially, Sc doping gave rise to an intensified absorbance capacity and provided the means for the efficient fabrication of Sc-TiO 2 microarchitectures via the inkjet printing technique. Implementation of the state-of-the-art low-temperature synthesis allowed to us successfully incorporate high concentrations of Sc 3+ ions into the TiO 2 lattice and improve the light absorption characteristics of the resulting materials. Doped TiO 2 nanoparticles with Sc contents up to 10 wt.% were synthesized and adapted towards a facile fabrication of microscale structures and thin film printing. Here we report the methodology for nanocomposite fabrication based on the inkjet printing technique. Authors may use MDPI'sĮnglish editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.

Applications: photovoltaics, optoelectronics, medical applications, biological and chemical sensors and.

Problems of strength, adhesion and materials compatibility.

In particular, the topics of interest include, but are not limited to: The aim of this Special Issue is to present recent developments in the field of inkjet-printed films and coatings and reveal outlooks and advantages of inkjet technology for creating thin layers. The field of inkjet printing provides vast opportunities for theoretical studies aimed at a fundamental understanding of the underlying physical principles and applied studies in order to develop inkjet printing technology and postprocessing. Inkjet-printed materials have growing fields of application, e.g., in optics, electronics, energy, and medicine. Inkjet printing advantageously differs from other known methods in a number of ways, such as the capability of printing patterns with high resolution and processing materials with minimal contamination.

Printing is considered as one of the fastest and least expensive mass production technologies for the manufacturing of thin films and coatings.
