Abstract
In order to acquire a suitable ink for ink-jet printing technology, a graphene oxide ink was explored based on the GO aqueous dispersion. The GO dispersion was characterized by field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The average particle diameter and zeta potential of the GO dispersion was determined by zeta potential & particle size analyzer. The GO ink is composed of 1,2-propanediol, diethylene glycol monobutyl ether, glycerol, polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP) and GO dispersion. The surface tension and viscosity of the GO ink was tested by surface tension meter and rheometer. The GO ink was inkjet printed on polyethylene terephthalate (PET) substrate. The optimal inkjet printing parameters were obtained and the printing quality was characterized by confocal laser scanning microscopy. The results show that the GO ink is suitable for inkjet printing technology and the morphology of the GO film with one printing pass has good uniformity.
