Surface Modification Methods to Improve UV Inkjet Printing Performance of Ceramic

Abstract:

Using UV inkjet printing can achieve three-dimensional printing of ceramic materials, but there is low ink adhesion, easy to fall off and other issues, surface coated modification to high smoothness ceramic materials can solve the above problems [1]. In this study, the silane coupling agent, adhesive, resin and other raw materials prepared for transparent coating, which applied to the surface of the ceramics. The impact of process parameters and coating formulation on the UV print quality of the ceramic base was systematic analyzed, the result shows that the volume concentration of 10% KH550 silane coupling agent as primer, and using 20wt% 102 multipurpose plastic glue for surface coating, better ink adhesion and printing quality can be obtained.
