Abstract
A printing system (') includes at least one ejector coupled to a reservoir () that is configured to contain a printing composition including a hydrocarbon having at least one unsaturated bond. The hydrocarbon is configured to at least one of polymerize or crosslink in the presence of a reactive species. The at least one ejector is configured to eject the printing composition onto a surface (). The system (′) further includes a corona generator (′″) configured to generate the reactive species in situ. The corona generator (′″) is positioned with respect to the reservoir () such that the reactive species is exposed to the printing composition after the printing composition has been ejected onto the surface (). The polymerizing and/or the cross-linking of the hydrocarbon is configured to form a polymer matrix () from the ejected printing composition.
