Hydrophilic retention process of micro nozzle on polyimide surface
When processing the polyimide material used to fabricate the nozzles of an inkjet printer head
it is necessary for the inner wall of the nozzle to be hydrophilic so that the operating frequency of the print head can be maximized. Currently
laser drilling followed by hydrophilic polymer filling is commonly used to achieve this. In an attempt to simplify the nozzle preparation process
the present study set out to devise a plasma-based method using a mixture of oxygen and argon
to simultaneously introduce hydrophilic groups and increase the surface roughness
overcome the issue of hydrophilicity loss with an increase in the duration of the plasma processing
and ensure that the hydrophilicity is maintained throughout the lifetime of the print head. The results of our experiments reveal that the surface of the polyimide continues to be hydrophilic after an extended duration
with a surface contact angle maintained in 50°-60°. The results of a simulation-based analysis demonstrate that the hydrophilic enhancement has a beneficial effect on droplet filling in the print head
