Inkjet printing is an attractive patterning technology, which has become increasingly accepted for a variety of industrial and scientific applications. This review primarily presents an overview of the investigations that have been conducted since 2003 into inkjet-printing polymers or metal-containing inks and mentions related activities. The first section discusses the droplet-formation process in piezoelectric drop-on-demand printheads and the physical properties that affect droplet formation and the resolution of inkjet-printed features. The second section deals with the issues that arise from printing polymers, such as printability and the output characteristics of devices made by this route. Finally, the challenges and achievements attached to inkjet printing metal-containing inks are discussed before concluding with a few remarks about the future of the field.
喷墨打印是一种颇具吸引力的图案化技术，已在各种工业和科学应用中越来越被广泛接受。本综述主要概述了自2003年以来对喷墨打印聚合物或含金属墨水所开展的研究，并提及了相关活动。第一部分讨论了压电按需滴下式打印头中的液滴形成过程以及影响液滴形成和喷墨打印特征分辨率的物理特性。第二部分探讨了打印聚合物时出现的问题，例如可印刷性以及通过此方法制造的器件的输出特性。最后，在讨论喷墨打印含金属墨水所面临的挑战和取得的成就之前，对该领域的未来作了几点评论。
