INK-REPELLENT MEMBER, INKJET HEAD, METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING INK-REPELLENT MEMBER, AND METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING INKJET HEAD - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18519402 titled 'INK-REPELLENT MEMBER, INKJET HEAD, METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING INK-REPELLENT MEMBER, AND METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING INKJET HEAD
The abstract describes an ink-repellent member with a base containing silicon oxide or tantalum oxide, and an ink-repellent film with a fluorine compound chemically bonded to the base via a siloxane bond. The fluorine compound includes two linear molecular structures, one with a higher average molecular weight (fluorine compound A) and one with a lower average molecular weight (fluorine compound B).
- The ink-repellent member includes a base with silicon oxide or tantalum oxide.
- The ink-repellent film has a fluorine compound chemically bonded to the base via a siloxane bond.
- The fluorine compound consists of two linear molecular structures, one with a higher average molecular weight (fluorine compound A) and one with a lower average molecular weight (fluorine compound B).
- Fluorine compound A has a siloxane structure at one end of the linear molecular structure.
- Fluorine compound B has a siloxane structure or a phosphonic acid structure at one end of the linear molecular structure.
Potential Applications: - Coating for electronic devices to repel ink and prevent damage. - Protective layer for printed materials to resist ink smudging. - Surface treatment for medical devices to prevent ink contamination.
Problems Solved: - Protection against ink damage on various surfaces. - Prevention of ink smudging on printed materials. - Reduction of ink contamination on sensitive devices.
Benefits: - Increased durability of coated surfaces. - Improved appearance of printed materials. - Enhanced cleanliness of medical devices.
Commercial Applications: The technology can be utilized in the electronics industry for coating devices, the printing industry for protecting printed materials, and the medical industry for maintaining cleanliness on devices.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the fluorine compound contribute to the ink-repellent properties of the member? 2. What are the advantages of using silicon oxide or tantalum oxide in the base of the ink-repellent member?
Original Abstract Submitted
An ink-repellent member includes a base and an ink-repellent film. The base includes at least one of silicon oxide and tantalum oxide. The ink-repellent film includes a fluorine compound chemically bonded to the base via at least a siloxane bond. The fluorine compound includes a fluorine compound A having a linear molecular structure and an average molecular weight of 1500 or more, and a fluorine compound B having a linear molecular structure and a smaller average molecular weight than the fluorine compound A. The fluorine compound A has a siloxane structure only at a one end of the linear molecular structure, and the fluorine compound B has a siloxane structure or a phosphonic acid structure only at a one end of the linear molecular structure.
