Fast optimization of mesoporous ternary metal oxide (CuCeZrO(w)) catalysts for n-hexane oxidation is achieved via a newly developed combinatorial approach based on ink-jet printing assisted synthesis and multi-dimensional group testing.

We describe a novel coating process for preserving and enhancing color images from ink jet prints. It involves stabilizing the printed image, followed by selective chemical interaction with the inks. The coating provides liquid, gas and UV light protection. It also changes the way light interacts with the original colorants. Untrained viewers (e.g. ordinary consumers) report the coated images a...

This paper was selected as the 2005 IS&T Itek Award for outstanding original student publication in the field of imaging science and engineering (full version published in JIST 48 #2). In order to produce color ink jet prints with good fastness properties, the use of special, coated papers is generally essential. This study examined the water fastness of ink jet prints using experimental coated...

Sphere-shaped green phosphor, Zn2SiO4:Mn, with 100–500 nm of average diameter was successfully prepared by the reverse emulsion method to formulate the phosphor ink for ink-jet processing. It was found that the aqueous phosphor ink exhibited excellent dispersion stability by introducing organic low molecular weight additives such as nonionic type of fatty acid containing ethylene oxide (BYK 192...

Solution processed two-dimensional (2D) layered materials and their integration with additive manufacturing techniques, such as ink-jet printing, is a facile approach for incorporating these exotic materials into device platforms for flexible electronics. In this work, graphene ink formulations are successfully utilized toward the design and fabrication of high-power resistive structures that a...

Dissociated nerve cells in culture are an accessible experimental tool for analyzing the behavior of networks of nerve cells that underlie the operation of the brain. Previous work has demonstrated the ability to constrain and influence the behavior of growing neurons by arrangement of substrate-bound chemical patterns, but these techniques have various limitations. In particular, techniques th...
