Abstract
Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) commonly used for microcontact printing is essential towards the successful introduction of high speed printing of reel-to-reel or reel-to-plate manufacturing processes. Here, it is proposed that extending flexography printing method into the multiple micro-scale printing solid line onto subtract by using PDMS stamp as a plate. Flexography is a high-speed technique commonly used for printing onto substrates in a lot of paper printing industry. It was introduces a decade ago where it is very useful for large production. In this area of printing, the expanding demand on printing electronics leads to a lot of study needed for high speed and large production of electronic industries. This work elaborates the feasibility of PDMS stamp (12in x 4in) use in flexography printing for multiple micro solid lines. It will undergo by using simple and inexpensive fabrication PDMS mold process. This paper illustrates the use of PDMS in microcontact printing fusing with flexography printing to produce multiple micro-solid line printing capability by using conductive ink as application of printing electronic industry applications.
