Sprayable Elastic Conductors Based on Block Copolymer Silver Nanoparticle Composites
Block copolymer silver nanoparticle composite elastic conductors were fabricated through solution blow spinning and subsequent nanoparticle nucleation. The reported technique allows for conformal deposition onto nonplanar substrates. We additionally demonstrated the ability to tune the strain dependence of the electrical properties by adjusting nanoparticle precursor concentration or localized ...
متن کاملSilver bromide nanoparticle/polymer composites: dual action tunable antimicrobial materials.
We present a simple method of fabricating highly potent dual action antibacterial composites consisting of a cationic polymer matrix and embedded silver bromide nanoparticles. A simple and novel technique of on-site precipitation of AgBr was used to synthesize the polymer/nanoparticle composites. The synthesized composites have potent antibacterial activity toward both gram-positive and gram-ne...
متن کامل3d-printing of Energy Devices Using Particle-based Inks
Introduction and Summary Over the past year, ISEN funding has been utilized to make significant research progress towards the fabrication of a fully 3D-printed iron/solid oxide fuel cell (Metallic/multi-ceramic) batterygenerator system (Figure 1). Monies have gone towards the partial funding of one grad student/postdoc, Adam Jakus, in Ramille Shah’s Tissue Engineering and Additive Manufacturing...
متن کاملBlock copolymer/ferroelectric nanoparticle nanocomposites.
Nanocomposites composed of diblock copolymer/ferroelectric nanoparticles were formed by selectively constraining ferroelectric nanoparticles (NPs) within diblock copolymer nanodomains via judicious surface modification of ferroelectric NPs. Ferroelectric barium titanate (BaTiO3) NPs with different sizes that are permanently capped with polystyrene chains (i.e., PS-functionalized BaTiO3NPs) were...
متن کاملMicrofluidic Printheads for Multimaterial 3D Printing of Viscoelastic Inks.
Multimaterial 3D printing using microfluidic printheads specifically designed for seamless switching between two visco-elastic materials "on-the-fly" during fabrication is demonstrated. This approach opens new avenues for the digital assembly of functional matter with controlled compositional and property gradients at the microscale.
