- The paper is derived from 2 substantial grants having 15 industrial partners, developing QMUL granted patents concerning electrostatic ink jet printing: H2020 grant (€7.9m) and Innovate UK/EPSRC grant (£2.6m). The industrial partners wish to print in diverse applications including solar cell manufacture, touch screens and OLED displays. The paper develops fundamental theory and experimental verification in viscous and inviscid fluids for the breakup length of charged jets, critical to setting print distance to satisfy print resolution. The approach avoids costly empirical testing of inks and is validated for “real” inks. The paper contributed Dr Ismail securing his first academic position.
