Summary: By developing thermosensitive inks, it is possible to digitally print on textiles and fibers without the need for pretreatment and washing procedures like traditional inks. The thermosensitive inks have a reversible sol-gel transition property, with increased viscosity at high temperatures, resulting in sharp printing edges and improved color strength and fastness.

Summary: A novel method was proposed for preparing PPy layers on textile fabrics with reactive inkjet printing, and it was found that the surface resistance of PPy layers decreased linearly with polymerization temperature. The spectroscopic studies showed that the degree of PPy oxidation and its conformation is independent of polymerization temperature, with lower temperature resulting in smoother PPy layer surfaces. The as-coated PPy layers on PP textile substrates were further assembled as electrodes in symmetric supercapacitor devices, demonstrating high specific capacitance, energy density, and power density.

Summary: Although significant development has been achieved in the inkjet-printing technology for scalable and adaptable energy storage devices, the search for additive-free and environmentally friendly aqueous inks remains a challenge. In this study, an aqueous MXene/sodium alginate-Fe2+ hybrid ink is prepared and used for inkjet printing micro-supercapacitors (MSCs). The ink is able to alleviate the oxidation and self-restacking problems of MXene and provides abundant active sites for ion storage and a highly conductive network for electron transfer. The inkjet-printed MSCs exhibit remarkable capacitances, good rate capability, high energy density, and excellent cycling and mechanical durability. Therefore, MXene/SA-Fe inks hold great potential for printable electronics.

Summary: Material jetting bioprinting is a promising technique for 3D bioprinting, allowing precise and accurate deposition of biomaterials and cells at predetermined positions. One major challenge is the limited range of printable hydrogel-based bio-inks. In this study, gelatin methacrylate (GelMA) was modified to improve its printability in a thermal inkjet bioprinter. The modification process involved saponification and heat treatment to obtain saponified GelMA (SP-GelMA) and heat-treated SP-GelMA (HSP-GelMA). The modified bio-inks demonstrated good printability and biocompatibility, making them suitable for cell-cell and cell-material interaction studies.

Summary: Due to the low energy density of commercial printable dielectrics, printed capacitors occupy a significant printing area and weight in printed electronics. It has long remained challenging to develop novel dielectric materials with printability and high-energy storage density. Herein, a novel strategy for inkjet printing of all aqueous colloidal inks to dielectric capacitors composed of carbon nanotube electrodes and polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF)-based dielectrics is presented. The formulated dielectric ink is composed of negatively charged PVDF latex nanoparticles complexed with cationic chitosan molecules.
