UBaluleko lobuNzululwazi beekhatriji ze-Ink: Ukusuka kwiMicro{0}}Tekhnoloji ukuya kwiMakhro{1}}ekuTsha okutsha

Njengenxalenye engundoqo yeteknoloji yoshicilelo lwangoku, iikhatriji ze-inki zibambe ukubaluleka kwezenzululwazi ngaphaya komsebenzi wazo wogcino we-inki olula. Ngokwenyani, ziyiparadigm ye-miniaturization, ebandakanya ukuhlangana kwenzululwazi yemathiriyeli, ukwenziwa okuchanekileyo, kunye nokutshintsha kolwelo. Ngokwembono yophando lwezenzululwazi, iikhatriji ze-inki zithwala uphononongo{2}}lomda wokulawula ukufuduka kwezinto kunye nokuguqulwa kwamandla kwi-microscale.

 

Kwinkalo yenzululwazi yemathiriyeli, uyilo lweekhatriji zeinki zokugcina izakhiwo ze-inki ziqhube uphuhliso lwemathiriyeli edibeneyo yepolymer. Iikhatriji ze-inki zanamhlanje zisebenzisa itekhnoloji ye-membrane edibeneyo ye-multilayer, ilawula amazinga okungena kwe-inki ngokusebenzisa i-nanoscale pores. Olu phando lobunjineli obuntsonkothileyo lubonelela ngolwazi olubalulekileyo lwezinto ze-membrane ze-biosensor kunye ne-fuel cell proton exchange membranes. I-Seiko Epson Corporation yase-Japan iphuhlise i-micro-i-piezoelectric printhead cartridges, ethe ulawulo oluchanekileyo lwe-piezoelectric engaguqukiyo lwemathiriyeli ye-piezoelectric ceramic luqhubele phambili ngqo uphando kunye nophuhliso lwemathiriyeli entsha esebenzayo ye-ceramic.

Ukusuka kumbono we-fluid dynamics, inkqubo ye-inki yokuhamba ngaphakathi kwekhatriji ye-inki yenza inethiwekhi ye-capillary epheleleyo. Inkqubo yotshintsho lwenqanaba le-inki ngaphakathi kwegumbi lokufudumeza leekhatriji ze-inki ezigwetyiweyo ze-HP ibandakanya ukudibana okuntsokothileyo koxinzelelo lomphezulu, uxinzelelo lomphunga, kunye nokulingana kwe-thermodynamic. Olu hlobo lophando lubeke isiseko sethiyori kwilebhu ye-microfluidic -kwi{3}}-kwiteknoloji ye-chip. I-Heidelberg Druckmaschinenfabrik yaseJamani ifezekise ukuchaneka kwe-droplet ejection ngaphakathi kwe-± 1 micron ngokulungiselela inkqubo yokulinganisa uxinzelelo lwekhatriji. Esi sixhobo sokulawula i-microscopic sibe nefuthe ngqo kwinkqubela phambili yobuchwepheshe bokubona i-biochip.

Uyilo lwemodyuli yeekhatriji ze-inki ikwaquka ixabiso lezenzululwazi leenkqubo zobunjineli. Ulwakhiwo lwekhatriji ye-inki oluqhawukayo lukhuthaza uphando lokurisayikilishwa kwezixhobo, kwaye uphuhliso lwe-inki yesoya ehambelana nokusingqongileyo ikhuthaza ukusetyenziswa kwemathiriyeli esekwe kwibhayoloji kushishino loshicilelo. Olu lutsha lweteknoloji alusombululi kuphela iingxaki ezisebenzayo kwi-automation ye-ofisi kodwa nokwandisa imida yokuqonda komntu kwihlabathi lezinto eziphathekayo kwinqanaba le-microscopic, ebonisa i-paradigm yophuhliso olulungelelanisiweyo lwesayensi esisiseko kunye neteknoloji esetyenziswayo.
