Previous efforts to directly write conductive metals have been narrowly focused on nanoparticle ink suspensions that require aggressive sintering (>200 {deg}C) and result in low-density, small-grained agglomerates with electrical conductivities <25% of bulk metal. Here, we demonstrate aerosol jet printing of a reactive ink solution and characterize high-density (93%) printed silver traces having near-bulk conductivity and grain sizes greater than the electron mean free path, while only requiring a low-temperature (80 {deg}C) treatment. We have developed a predictive electronic transport model which correlates the microstructure to the measured conductivity and identifies a strategy to approach the practical conductivity limit for printed metals. Our analysis of how grain boundaries and tortuosity contribute to electrical resistivity provides insight into the basic materials science that governs how an ink formulator or process developer might approach improving the conductivity. Transmission line measurements validate that electrical properties are preserved up to 20 GHz, which demonstrates the utility of this technique for printed RF components. This work reveals a new method of producing robust printed electronics that retain the advantages of rapid prototyping and three-dimensional fabrication while achieving the performance necessary for success within the aerospace and communications industries.

Manufacturing electronic devices by printing techniques with low temperature sintering of nano-size material particles can revolutionize the electronics industry in coming years. The impact of this change to the industry can be significant enabling l
ow-cost products and flexibility in manufacturing. implementation of a new production technology with new materials requires thorough elementary knowledge creation. It should be noticed that although some of first electronic devices ideally can be manufactured by printing, at the present several modules are in fact manufactured by using hybrid techniques (for instance photolithography, vapor depositions, spraying, etc...).
In this work, We combined fully atomistic molecular dynamics and finite elements simulations with mechanical testings to investigate the mechanical behavior of atomic and 3D-printed models of pentadiamond. Pentadiamond is a recently proposed new carb
on allotrope, which is composed of a covalent network of pentagonal rings. Our results showed that the stress-strain behavior is almost scale-independent. The stress-strain curves of the 3D-printed structures exhibit three characteristic regions. For low-strain values, this first region presents a non-linear behavior close to zero, followed by a well-defined linear behavior. The second regime is a quasi-plastic one and the third one is densification followed by structural failures (fracture). The Youngs modulus values decrease with the number of pores. The deformation mechanism is bending-dominated and different from the layer-by-layer deformation mechanism observed for other 3D-printed structures. They exhibit good energy absorption capabilities, with some structures even outperforming kevlar. Interestingly, considering the Ashby chart, 3D-printed pentadiamond lies almost on the ideal stretch and bending-dominated lines, making them promising materials for energy absorption applications.
Carbon Nanotubes (CNTs)-polymer composites are promising candidates for a myriad of applications. Ad-hoc CNTs-polymer composite fabrication techniques inherently pose roadblock to optimized processing resulting in microstructural defects i.e., void f
ormation, poor interfacial adhesion, wettability, and agglomeration of CNTs inside the polymer matrix. Although improvement in the microstructures can be achieved via additional processing steps such as-mechanical methods and/or chemical functionalization, the resulting composites are somewhat limited in structural and functional performances. Here, we demonstrate that 3D printing technique like-direct ink writing offers improved processing of CNTs-polymer composites. The shear-induced flow of an engineered nanocomposite ink through the micronozzle offers some benefits including reducing the number of voids within the epoxy, improving CNTs dispersion and adhesion with epoxy, and partially aligns the CNTs. Such microstructural changes result in superior mechanical performance and heat transfer in the composites compared to their mold-casted counterparts. This work demonstrates the advantages of 3D printing over traditional fabrication methods, beyond the ability to rapidly fabricate complex architectures, to achieve improved processing dynamics for fabricating CNT-polymer nanocomposites with better structural and functional properties.
The spontaneous permeation of overlay is a critical factor affecting the mechanical link of layer-to-layer interfaces. This work mainly studies the possibility of improving the interlayer bonding of 3D printed structures by increasing the spontaneous
permeation of overlay. A polycarboxylate superplasticizer with high slump retention (TSRS) are employed to control the spontaneous permeation of cement-based materials. The rheological properties, micro-structure and interlayer bonding strength of printed structures with TSRS polymers are analyzed. Results indicate that fluidity is the key factor affecting the spontaneous permeation of cement-based materials. Properly improving the fluidity retention of cement-based materials can promote the spontaneous permeation of overlay, which fills part of the air-void systems of layer-to-layer interfaces, increases the mechanical interlocking and interlayer bonding strength of printed structures.
Specific strength (strength/density) is a crucial factor while designing high load bearing architecture in areas of aerospace and defence. Strength of the material can be enhanced by blending with high strength component or, by compositing with high
strength fillers but both the options has limitations such as at certain load, materials fail due to poor filler and matrix interactions. Therefore, researchers are interested in enhancing strength of materials by playing with topology/geometry and therefore nature is best option to mimic for structures whereas, complexity limits nature mimicked structures. In this paper, we have explored Zeolite-inspired structures for load bearing capacity. Zeolite-inspired structure were obtained from molecular dynamics simulation and then fabricated via Fused deposition Modeling. The atomic scale complex topology from simulation is experimentally synthesized using 3D printing. Compressibility of as-fabricated structures was tested in different direction and compared with simulation results. Such complex architecture can be used for ultralight aerospace and automotive parts.
