Inkjet-printed perovskite quantum dot (PQD) color conversion films (CCFs) have great potentials for mini/micro-LED displays because of their ultrahigh color purity, tunable emissions, high efficiency, and high-resolution. However, current PQD inks mainly use expensive, toxic, and flammable organic substances as solvents. In this work, water is proposed to be used as the solvent for inkjet printing PQD/polymer CCFs. The green-emitting patterned MAPbBr /polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) films are in situ prepared by using halides and the PVA-based aqueous ink. The as-printed CCFs exhibit a high-resolution dot matrix of 90 µm with a bright green emission (λ = 526 nm), a high photoluminescence quantum yield of 85%, and a narrow full width at half maximum of 22 nm. They have both air- and photo-stabilities under ambient conditions, and each pixel of CCFs is relatively uniform in morphology and fluorescence when the substrate temperature is 80 °C. The patterned blue-emitting MAPbCl Br /PVA and red-emitting Cs MA PbBr I /PVA can also be printed by aqueous inks. These results indicate that the designed aqueous inks are promising for in situ inkjet printing high resolution and reliability PQD CCFs for mini/micro-LED displays.

Understanding the droplet coalescence/merging is vital for many areas of microfluidics such as biochemical reactors, drug delivery, inkjet printing, oil recovery, etc. In the present study, we carried out numerical simulations of two magnetic droplets suspended in a nonmagnetic fluid matrix and coalescing under the influence of an external magnetic field. We observed that the applied magnetic field played a key role in the merging dynamics of the magnetic droplets.

Fully π-conjugated polymers consisting of plane and rigid aromatic units present a fantastic optoelectronic property, a promising candidate for printed and flexible optoelectronic devices. However, obtaining high-performance conjugated polymers with an excellent intrinsically flexible and printable capacity is a great challenge due to their inherent coffee-ring effect and brittle properties. Here, we report an asymmetric substitution strategy to improve the printable and stretchable properties of deep-blue light-emitting conjugated polymers with a strong inter-aggregate capillary interaction for flexible printed polymer light-emitting diodes.

Additive manufacturing (AM) of magnetic materials has recently attracted increasing interest for various applications but is often limited by the high cost and supply chain risks of rare-earth-element (REE) magnetic precursors. Recent advances in nanomanufacturing have enabled the development of rare-earth-free (REF) magnetic materials, such as spinel ferrites, hexaferrites, MnAl, MnBi, Alnico, FePt, and iron oxides/nitrides, which offer promising alternatives for printing high-performance magnetic devices. This review provides a detailed overview of the latest developments in REF magnetic materials, covering both synthesis strategies of REF magnetic materials/nanomaterials and their integration into AM processes.

Transdermal drug delivery using microneedle array patches has been investigated using a wide range of drug substances. Inkjet printing and micromolding are established methods for the production of microneedle array patches and both were used to combine lisinopril embedded in povidone and ibuprofen in Eudragit® RS / RL in a single patch. Dissolution studies, visual inspection, mechanical strength and insertion into an artificial skin membrane model were investigated.
