    Abstract

    The present paper contains an experimental study of two different kinds of PZT suspensions for direct ink jet printing at 25 and 120 °C, respectively. The effect of processing parameters such as mixing time, the amount of dispersant, solid loading and milling method was investigated for the optimisation of viscosity for feasible jetting. The viscosity of PZT suspensions was within 5-15 mPa·s range for room temperature suspensions with MEK/EtOH medium and 10-20 mPa·s for high temperature suspensions with wax medium. FTIR analysis is also presented to explain the rheological behaviour of PZT suspensions. Finally, a demonstration of room temperature jetting of PZT suspension is shown. © 2003 Elsevier Ltd.
