Thermal or piezoelectric inkjet techniques are attractive due to their compatibility with various materials and substrates. Although interests in their applications in electronics and biotechnology have grown rapidly in recent years, the coarse resolution of the current inkjet systems limits many potential applications. This talk describes the use of an electrohydrodynamic jet printing technology with resolution that can be extended into nanometer regime. Various functional materials, including conducting / insulating polymers and biomaterials, can be used as inks. Printing of flexible transistors with aligned arrays of carbon nanotubes illustrates its potential applications in electronics. Also, DNA aptamer-based biosensors and DNA-programmed nanoparticle assembly demonstrate its use for biotechnology. Furthermore, patterning charge to control the properties of transistors reveals another possibility. |
