Abstract

The invention discloses a jet-printing head based on a double-carbon nanotube microbubble generator and a preparation method thereof. The jet-printing head comprises a carbon nanotube microbubble generator and a microfluid structure comprising a main channel, a capillary channel, a microcavity and a nozzle. The carbon nanotube microbubble generator and the microfluid structure are manufactured independently. A jet-printing head structure is prepared by adopting the silicon surfacing and bulk silicon processing technologies, wherein the silicon surfacing technology mainly comprises steps of manufacturing figures by photoetching, manufacturing a masking film by a magnetron sputtering technology, etching the masking film by wet process, and the like; and the bulk silicon processing technology mainly comprises the step of manufacturing the microfluid structure by combining the wet etching and dry etching. The double-carbon nanotube microbubble generator and the microfluid structure are jointed by an ultraviolet curing bonding method to form the whole jet-printing head structure. The invention has very high spatial resolution and frequency response and very low power consumption, eliminates the problem of secondary droplets, effectively enhances the quality of jet-printing figures, and has favorable superintegration potential, thereby having side application prospect in the advanced manufacturing field.
