During this decade, drop-on-demand piezo inkjet printing has gained considerable interest as it allows for a personalized and patterned deposition of thin functional films at ambient conditions. We report about libraries of inkjetted polymer microspheres with varying drop-to-drop space, head-to-substrate distance, solvent composition and substrate properties. The layers are characterized by AFM and optical microscopy aiming to understand the self-assembly phenomena of the spheres on the substrate.
