    摘要: Thick film layers for a micro-fluid ejection head, micro-fluid ejection heads, and methods for making micro-fluid ejection head and thick film layers. One such thick film layer is derived from a difunctional epoxy component having a weight average molecular weight ranging from about 2500 to about 4000 Daltons, a photoacid generator, an aryl ketone solvent, and an adhesion enhancing component. One such thick film layer has a cross-link density upon curing that increases the dimensional stability of the thick film layer sufficient to provide flow features therein having substantially vertical walls.

    摘要: Methods for improving fluid flow in one or more flow features of a micro-fluid ejection head and micro-fluid ejection heads having improved fluid flow. One method includes bonding a substrate having a flow feature layer to an ejection head body using a relatively low stress, substantially flexible adhesive containing a relatively volatile polar organic compound. The adhesive is cured under conditions sufficient to induce outgassing of at least a portion of the relatively volatile polar organic compound on at least a portion of a flow feature surface sufficient to increase fluid wetting of the flow feature surface.
