Title: In-Pile Instrumentation Advanced Manufacturing: Devleopment of Pt, Mo, and Nb Inks

S&T Accomplishment Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/1497043· OSTI ID:1497043

This report summarizes the nanoparticle ink synthesis for in–pile nuclear sensor applications. Bulk nanopowders of Pt, Mo, and Nb were dispersed in aqueous solvents and printed into in–pile nuclear sensor structures to demonstrate their compatibility with aerosol jet printing and plasma jet printing. While we did not directly demonstrate plasma jet printing, due to delays in equipment installation from the manufacturer, compatibility with aerosol jet printing technology is expected to transfer to the plasma jet printer based upon the manufacturer’s specifications for ink compatibility.
