Abstract
In this chapter a new concept of droplet generation based on the pyroelectrohydrodynamic effect is described. The method is analyzed for the direct drawing and dispensing of small droplets from liquid drops or film reservoirs. For the smallest ink droplets, printing resolution down to 300 nm (corresponding to attolitre volumes) was achieved. This technique does not require electrodes, high-voltage circuit connections or special capillary nozzles. In fact, the electric fields are generated pyroelectrically using functionalized substrates of Lithium Niobate (LN) for transferring liquids between two substrates and manipulate the droplets three dimensionally.
