Emulsion stereolithography and 3D printing of multimaterials and nanoscale material gradients
Abstract
A functionally graded material is formed by pipetting individual micro-or-nano-litter droplets with a variety of materials including multi-nanostructured material (nanowires, carbon nanotubes, enzymes, multi-element and/or multi-color, multi-biomolecules) and UV polymerization of the flat hydrogel meniscus surface formed at the carrier fluid interface. After step-by-step droplet pipetting and subsequent layer-by-layer UV polymerization via a digital mask, the complete fabricated part without supporting layers is taken out of the carrier fluid while the un-cured micro-litter residue is conveniently suctioned out of the carrier fluid.
