Resistance Properties of Printed Polyolefin Films using Water-Based Inks
Authors
Abstract:
During recent decades due to the increase in pollutants release from various industries, reduction or elimination of volatile organic compounds VOCs has become one of the main purposes of researches in order to protect the environment. In this research, two acrylic emulsion resins and an adhesion promoter polyester emulsion resin were used to optimize water-based printing ink formulation for printing on polyolefins. Then resistance properties of printed films were evaluated. The used polyolefins were transparent polypropylene PP, transparent and opaque polyethylene PE. Adhesion of samples increased from PP to PE while it was better for opaque PE compared with transparent ones. However, scratch resistance and optical properties of samples were independent of substrate. SEM images showed that the samples with Zinpol 350 had larger structure which caused the gloss decrease while for samples containing Glascol LS26 high level morphology and small microstructure lead to higher gloss and adhesion properties.

Exploiting the properties of two-dimensional crystals requires a mass production method able to produce heterostructures of arbitrary complexity on any substrate. Solution processing of graphene allows simple and low-cost techniques such as inkjet printing to be used for device fabrication. However, the available printable formulations are still far from ideal as they are either based on toxic ...

A simple and low-cost fabrication method for paper-based diagnostic devices (PBDDs) is described in this study. Street-available polymer solutions were screen printed onto filter papers to create hydrophobic patterns for fluidic channels. In order to obtain fully functional hydrophobic patterns for fluids, the original polymer solutions were diluted with butyl acetate to yield a suitable viscos...

From the early Copper Age several millennia ago, to the beginning of the Steel Age in the 19th century, our capacity to access and manipulate metals has created the foundation for the modern world. Today, metal structures are ubiquitous— from the tallest skyscrapers to the most elegant of jewelry—that we often forget much of it originated from metal containing ores, comprised of metal compounds...
full textColorMod: Recoloring 3D Printed Objects using Photochromic Inks
Recent research has shown how to change the color of existing objects using photochromic materials. These materials can switch their appearance from transparent to colored when exposed to light of a certain wavelength. The color remains active even when the object is removed from the light source. The process is fully reversible allowing users to recolor the object as many times as they want. S...
