Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Nanofluids are suspensions of nanoparticles and recently have attracted attention because the nanofluids are expected as nano-ink for printed electronics technique. In the printing process, the dynamic behavior of microscopic wetting near the contact line is important. Therefore, we developed a multi-scale phase-shifting optical system, which allows us to measure the two-dimensional thickness distribution of thin films, to elucidate microscopic wetting behaviors of nanofluids in this study. Measurement of the microscopic wetting behavior using the optical system when the nanofluid droplets move on the silicon substrate was performed. The measurement results revealed that the effects of adding nanoparticles on the characteristics of microscopic wetting behavior, such as contact angle less than 1° and precursor film length.
