Description
Summary:Issue Title: Special Issue: Symposium on Functional Ceramic Materials and Thin Films of ICMAT 2005: Part I July 2006 Solution processing based on Ink-jet and spray technologies is one of low cost on-site ceramic patterns/films fabrication methods at moderate temperatures from precursor solutions. In the present study, we have used ink-jet and spray technologies to fabricate ceramic films of titania directly on glass substrates at 300-400^sup ^C. The precursor solution was prepared by dissolving Titanium tetraisopropoxide in appropriate solvents (water/ethanol and acetylacetone). A cleaned glass substrate was kept on a hot plate and heated it up to a predetermined temperature. Droplets of the precursor solution produced through a spray gun were traveled towards heated substrate with a atmospheric pressure. When the droplets hit on the heated substrate, precursor started to decompose, nucleate and grow into the TiO^sub 2^ film. The anatase pattern was directly obtained by ink-jet method at moderate temperatures.[PUBLICATION ABSTRACT]
