ON THE COVER: Inkjet Printing of Functional Materials. (upper left) An electroluminescent flat-panel display created by inkjet printing of light-emitting polymers. (upper right) Optical micrograph of an array of inkjet-printed silver gate electrodes. (lower left, top image) A microfabricated nozzle array for high-throughput printing of biochips (back-side view; scale bar = 200 µm). (lower left, bottom image) The corresponding silicon-based biochip, featuring elevated sample surfaces (pillars; scale bar = 50 µm). The pillars on the chip are aligned with, and inserted into, the nozzles of the dispensing chip. A reaction volume is thereby created in which molecules can diffuse and bind to the chip surface. Upon completion of the reaction, the two chips are separated and a microscopic drop of liquid is left behind on each pillar. (lower right) Example of a ceramic object produced by inkjet printing: sintered alumina impeller manufactured by three-dimensional inkjet deposition of highly filled suspensions directly from a computer-aided-design file (scale minor division = 1 mm). (background) Array of inkjet-printed light-emitting polymer droplets. See the technical theme that begins on p. 802.
