For polymer inks, the coil-stretch transition of polymer chains always impacts the ink droplet formation and a beads-on-a string structure filament is formed, thus generating unwanted satellite droplets. This review provides a short introduction of the dynamic process of the droplet formation. Then fluid theological requirements for a printable polymer ink are summarized. Finally the strain hardening phenomenon of polymer chains in the filament formation and its impact on polymer ink-jetting are discussed. The research of viscoelastic polymer inks shows that rheological parameters and viscoelasticity are two key factors that determine the printability of polymer inks.展开更多

However, the strengthening of the intrinsically very weak LSPR in NCs remains a great challenge for its applications in optics, electronics and optoelectronics fields. In this work, we report on the remarkable strengthening and controllability of LSPR in ZnO through a dual-doping strategy. First, high quality In-doped ZnO （IZO） NCs with intense LSPR were synthesized by a simple single-pot method. Importantly, the LSPR can be tuned by simply adjusting the concentration of In dopant, as well as by UV light irradiation （photo-induced doping）. The pattern of electricity of an IZO NC film matches the shift of LSPR independent of dopant concentration. The UV light irradiation clearly enhanced the electrical properties of the films （350 fl/sq） due to increase carrier density explained by LSPR and confirmed by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, The IZO NCs can be easily dispersed in various organic solvents and serve as inks for assembling uniform films via solution processes. These IZO NC ink is promising for application in next-generation solution-based field effect transistors and other optoelec- tronic devices.展开更多
