Phase Transitions: Sublimation and Deposition02:33

Phase Transitions: Sublimation and Deposition

20.2K
Some solids can transition directly into the gaseous state, bypassing the liquid state, via a process known as sublimation. At room temperature and standard pressure, a piece of dry ice (solid CO2) sublimes, appearing to gradually disappear without ever forming any liquid. Snow and ice sublimate at temperatures below the melting point of water, a slow process that may be accelerated by winds and the reduced atmospheric pressures at high altitudes. When solid iodine is warmed, the solid sublimes...

Fixed Action Patterns01:06

Fixed Action Patterns

17.7K
A fixed action pattern (FAP) is a specific, hard-wired sequence of behaviors that occurs in response to an external stimulus, called a sign stimulus. The behavior is “fixed” because it is essentially unchangeable—proceeding similarly across individuals of a species every time it occurs.

Surface Tension and Surface Energy01:16

Surface Tension and Surface Energy

3.3K
When a paint brush is immersed in water, the bristles wave freely inside the water. When it is taken out, the bristles stick together. The reason behind this effect is surface tension.
Consider a beaker filled with liquid. The bulk molecules in the liquid experience equal attractive forces on all sides with the surrounding molecules. However, the surface molecules experience a net attractive force downward due to the bulk molecules. The surface of the liquid behaves like a stretched membrane,...

Role of Microtubules in Cell Wall Deposition01:02

Role of Microtubules in Cell Wall Deposition

3.1K
Microtubules are small hollow tubes in eukaryotic cells. The cell wall microtubules are polymerized dimers of two globular proteins, α-tubulin and β-tubulin, two globular proteins. With a diameter of about 25 nm, microtubules are the widest components of the cytoskeleton. They help the cell resist compression and provide a track along which vesicles move through the cell or pull replicated chromosomes to opposite ends of a dividing cell. Microtubules go through quick cycles of...

Wood Surfacing01:14

Wood Surfacing

361
Wood surfacing is a critical finishing process designed to smoothen the wood surface, enhance its dimensional accuracy, and make handling safer. This process compensates for potential shrinkage during the seasoning phase by marginally increasing the wood dimensions before surfacing. It also helps correct some distortions that may occur as the wood dries.
The equipment used in the surfacing process is a plane equipped with rotating blades. This tool efficiently smoothens the wood surface and can...

Area of Science:

  • Materials Science
  • Fluid Dynamics
  • Surface Chemistry

Background:

  • Inkjet printing is crucial for manufacturing polymeric organic light-emitting-diode (OLED) displays.
  • Substrate design, featuring textured pixels with varied wettability, significantly impacts fluid behavior during printing.
  • Understanding fluid spreading on patterned substrates is key to optimizing OLED fabrication.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate how physico-chemical patterned substrates influence fluid spreading from inkjet-printed droplets.
  • To analyze the combined effects of topography and wettability patterning on fluid behavior within recessed regions.
  • To provide insights for enhancing fluid control in OLED display manufacturing.

Main Methods:

  • Experimental investigation of fluid droplet spreading on patterned substrates.
  • Numerical modeling using a simplified fluid redistribution model with capillary effects and a Cox-Voinov spreading law.
  • Comparative analysis of experimental results and model predictions.

Main Results:

  • On uniform wettability substrates, side walls improve spreading but do not guarantee pixel containment.
  • Wettability patterning alone ensures robust fluid containment but can reduce coverage without side walls.
  • The simplified numerical model accurately predicts liquid morphologies and pixel filling conditions.

Conclusions:

  • Both topography and wettability patterning are critical for controlling fluid spreading in inkjet printing.
  • Optimized substrate design can achieve robust fluid containment and complete coverage for OLED pixel filling.
  • The developed numerical model offers a valuable tool for predicting fluid behavior in microfabrication processes.
