A 70 nm thick, smooth and pinhole-free film was successfully printed using a 100 lines/cm and 37 pm cell depth gravure cylinder and modified ink containing 65 wt% of PEDOT PSS, 1 wt% Tween 80, and 34 wt% isopropyl alcohol. The PEDOT PSS layer was subsequently dried at 110 °C with a web speed of 8 m/min. 

Cell n. (1) A small etched depression in a gravure cylinder that carries the ink. (2) In the cellular-plastics industry, a single void produced by a blowing agent, by mechanically entrained gas, or by the evaporation of a volatile constituent. When the void is completely surrounded by polymer, the cell is said to e closed. A completely open cell has no wall membranes but is part of a three-dimensional network of connected fibers or rods. 

In the rotogravure process, ink is applied to the print surface from a gravure cylinder eontaining the desired image as depressions on its surface. The film to be printed is then eontacted by the gravure cylinder and the image is thus transferred from the eylinder to the film. While the film is in contact with the cylinder, a small... 

Various gauge PVC and styrene films are bonded to a variety of fabrics and foams for miscellaneous soft goods applications such as luggage, sporting equipment, lamp shades, and wearing apparel. The bonding technique normally employs roller coat application with a gravure cylinder of the adhesive to the film, and... 

In the rotogravure process, ink is applied to the print surface from a gravure cylinder containing the desired image as depressions on its surface. The film to be printed is then contacted by the gravure cylinder and the image is thus transferred from the cylinder to the film. While the film is in contact with the cylinder, a small amount of erucamide is deposited on the raised portion of the cylinder. Since erucamide is soluble in the alcohol or ketone ink solvent, it is dissolved by the solvent in the next application of ink and it is removed by the next swipe of the doctor blade. Thus, no build-up of erucamide occurs on the doctor blade or on the gravure cylinder. ...
