Screen printing decals

The MEAs were manufactured using a screen-printing decal technique. The electrode layers were printed on the surface of the inert Teflon film...

The cyclic voltammetry plots obtained for the anode as a working electrode (Fig. 4) indicate that the anode layers for the three MEAs made with screen printing technique have similar loadings, which correlates using the weights of Pt/Ru decals estimated prior to the hot-pressing procedure.

As described above, the decal process is very similar to the screen printing of electrodes. During this production way, the catalyst ink can get applied via spraying, doctor blading, or other depositioning techniques on an inert and... 

Note that although the aqueous-based formulations are well suited to decoration of ceramic ware by brushing and direct screen printing applications (onto flat ware such as tiles or glass), the decoration of ware by decal transfers is more complex for these systems because they use water to release the transfer from the decal paper. It is reported that cross-linking aqueous polymer systems can be utilized to produce water-resistant films suitable for water-slide decal use, but no spedlic examples of any such formulations are recorded [26]. Alternatively, the aqueous gold formulations can be printed onto heat release transfer paper and used to decorate ware using an automated application process. 

Decals or transfers are substrates (typically paper) printed with a pattern which is then available to be applied or transferred to decorate another surface. Decals offer a distinct advantage over the direct decoration of ware in the ability to print the design onto flat paper and then apply the transfer onto curved or irregular surfaces that cannot be decorated by direct screen printing techniques. 

Decorating. The decoration of enamels is primarily done by silk screening. Other methods include indirect printing such as use of decals (decalcomania), and indirect lithographic, thermoplastic, and total transfer printing. Photographic printing is also done as a specialty. 

This very high-boiling glycol ester is used primarily as a solvent in printing inks and high-bake enamels, and os a coalescing aid in latex paints. The very slaw evaporation rate and the limited water solubility of this solvent are especially applicable in silk screen inks and as a component in polystyrene coatings for decals. Also it is a selective solvent in the separation of alcohols ond ketones by distillation.
