  • Designed, characterized and tested copper nanoparticle ink formulation for additive manufacturing applications. • Developed 6 ink products (3 for inkjet printing, 1 for aerosol jet printing and 1 for slot-die coating), as well as 2 inkjet inks in developmental stage. • Improved the peel strength of cured ultra thin copper film on polyimide substrate by~20X to achieve the industrial standard for copper clads. • Investigated the photonic curing methods to optimize the adhesion of… Show more • Designed, characterized and tested copper nanoparticle ink formulation for additive manufacturing applications. • Developed 6 ink products (3 for inkjet printing, 1 for aerosol jet printing and 1 for slot-die coating), as well as 2 inkjet inks in developmental stage. • Improved the peel strength of cured ultra thin copper film on polyimide substrate by~20X to achieve the industrial standard for copper clads. • Investigated the photonic curing methods to optimize the adhesion of printed inks on glass and ITO coated glass, from 0B to 5B (ASTM D3359 tape test). • Developed new thermal curable ink formulation for low temperature substrates. Successfully decreased the curing temperature from 250°C to 130°C to accommodate low Tg plastic substrates. • Established standard procedure for pilot scale and bench scale ink preparation, including raw material testing methods, checkpoints throughout the process and documentation in preparation of large-scale production. • Planed and executed research projects for customers and industrial/academic partners, followed by technical discussion, presentation and written reports.
