Objective
The overall objective of this proposed project is to improve the resolution speed, process tolerance, quality and environmental impact of printing with ceramic inks. Applications are in the decoration of ceramic tableware ceramic tiles and glass and for printing electronic circuit components. The benefits include: higher quality decorations, faster production and lower stock-holding of transfers, tighter tolerance and improved miniaturisation of electronic circuits and lower release of chemicals to the environment.
The approach adopted is to develop ceramic-containing inks for printing by lithography rather than the screen printing currently in use. The problem is that ceramic particles made by the traditional methods are not very suitable for lithographic inks; especially when used for four colour printing. It is proposed to solve this problem by producing small spherical ceramic particles of controlled composition and structure using a novel process (called "sol-gel"). These will be used to produce new lithographic inks, in a range of colours and compounds, printed and evaluated in the various potential end uses.
