In this work, titanium dioxide (TiO2) films were fabricated using screen printing technique from Ti02 nanoparticle pastes. These Ti02 pastes were composed of alpha-terpineol (a-T), ethyl cellulose (EC) and acetic acid (HAc). After printing the pastes onto glass substrates, the printed films were sintered with a heating rate of5°C/min at 120°Cfor 10 min, 230‘Cfor 15 min, 380°C for 15 min and 550°Cfor 30 min. TI02 and EC weight percentages were varied systematically to investigate if there was any effect over the quality of the printed films. A capillary breakup extensional rheometer (CABER) was builtfor rheological characterization of the pastes. Using this instrument, it was possible to record the thinning process of the paste over time due to capillary forces. The data extracted from these experiments was then converted to an extensional viscosity of the pastes. It was found that a higher content of Ti02 produced a higher viscosity. The CABER was also used to extend the pastes with different concentration of EC until their breakup. In this case, a higher EC concentration resulted in a larger deformation of paste before breakup. The screen-printed films were characterized using optical and field emission scanning electrón microscopy. It was determined that as the percentage of Ti02 was increased, the surface homogeneity and the thickness of the printed films were higher. The thicknesses of the printed films with 12% and 28% ofT¡02 were 1,6 pm and 3,7 pm, respectively. In a similar way, a bigger content of EC resulted in a better uniformity of the printed films.
