Roll-to-roll infrared and hot-air sintering of gravure-printed Ag layer based on in situ tension measuring and analysis

Abstract

The sintering energy was quantified and evaluated based on theoretical and experimental calculations. Moreover, the effect of the sintering energy on the web tension was simultaneously considered.

Strain Optimization of Tensioned Web through Computational Fluid Dynamics in the Roll-to-Roll Drying Process

“…In recent years, many researchers have studied the high-temperature processes of the R2R system. Park et al performed a performance analysis of the printed pattern under different drying effects according to the drying method of the R2R system (e.g., hot air, nearinfrared, mid-infrared) [34]. Ham et al conducted a study on the performance change of perovskite solar cells according to the airflow rate discharged from the dryer and solution supply rate of the slot-die coater [35].…”

Fast near infrared sintering of silver nanoparticle ink and applications for flexible hybrid circuits

“…Recently, Sowade et al 43 reported IR drying and sintering of inkjet-printed silver layers on a polyethylene naphthalate (PEN) substrate in a roll-to-roll (R2R) process. Park et al 44,45 presented NIR sintering of an R2R gravure-printed Ag layer. Hwang et al 46 developed a photonic sintering method involving intense pulsed light, NIR light and deep UV light to produce a copper lm.…”
