Progress of Novel Inkjet Technique for Inorganic Materials Preparation

In the last few years, inkjet technique has attracted great attention for its use as a form-free fabrication method for building 3D structure of inorganic materials and combinatorial material chips. This article reviews the progress of inorganic materials prepared by inkjet technique, including the development of inkjet printing system, the properties of different ink, applications, challenges and the hot of recent research. The fabrication of conductin circuits and setup of an electromagnetic inkjet fabricating system for material chip preparation in author's lab is briefly introduced as well.
