Two Methods to Generate Multiple Compositions in Combinatorial Ink‐Jet Printing of Ceramics

Abstract

Abstract Summary: Combinatorial exploration of material compositions and associated informatics having influenced medicinal chemistry are now transforming the material sciences. In ceramic science, both thin and thick film combinatorial techniques are available. Ink‐jet printing provides a pathway to the latter. Mixing behind the nozzle and in front of the nozzle in well plates is described here. Such instruments are described and compared, and compositional calibration details for both are given.
