Catalyst layer inks are examples of biphasic material systems composed of a solid material, a polymer, and a solvent. Nanoscale interactions between the individual constituents can alter macroscopic properties that are relevant for coating and manufacturing processes (i.e. viscosity, surface tension, aggregation, and rheology). Control over these macroscale properties are important for controlled electrode formation during scalable roll-to-roll manufacturing. The underlying interactions include polymer vertical bar particle, particle vertical bar solvent, and polymer vertical bar solvent interactions. In this work we systematically investigate polymer vertical bar particle interactions via studying a range of formulated inks composed of different solvents (methanol, isopropyl alcohol, octanol, and water), varying polymer loadings, and particles with different surface charges. Ink aging is also addressed and over short time periods (
