Effect of paste properties as inkjet printing film and Mathematical Model to Follow the Kinetic of Wetting Phenomenon

Abstract

Inkjet printing is a type of non-impact printing with the ability to produce high quality color images. The application of this procedure is very delicate in term of the paste composition and the operative conditions. In this field, firstly the present paper investigates the drying morphologies for the coating film. Then, the effect of film compounds which are widely as functional coatings in textile was studied. Results show that the drying condition and the system thickener – urea compounds affect deeply the film coating morphology. Furthermore, the wetting and the impregnation behaviors are directly related to the studied system compounds and the experiment applications. Finally, these obtained results are confirmed by the wetting behavior on the knitted polyamide fabrics
