The purpose of this research was to produce multi-dimensional scaffolds containing biocompatible particles and fibres. To achieve this, two techniques were combined and used: T-Junction microfluidics and electrohydrodynamic (EHD) processing. The former was used to form layers of monodispersed bovine serum albumin (BSA) bubbles, which upon drying formed porous scaffolds. By altering the T-Juncti...

EHD printing of discrete conducting polymer arrays, bridging the electrodes for highly sensitive chemiresistive gas sensors.

In this work, a numerical model for the simulation of two-phase electrohydrodynamic (EHD) problems is proposed. It characterized by physically consistent treatment surface tension as well jump in electric material properties. The formulation based on finite element method enriched with special shape functions, capable accurate capturing discontinuities both fluid pressure and gradient potential...

Abstract Wearable electronic devices are evolving from current rigid configurations to flexible and ultimately stretchable structures. These emerging systems require soft circuits for connecting the various working units of overall system. This paper presents fabrication by electrohydrodynamic (EHD) inkjet-printing technique. Multi-nozzle EHD printing head is employed rapid electric on a wide s...

Electrohydrodynamic (EHD) drying is an energy-efficient method. This novel technology operates at room temperature, which makes it particularly suitable for biomaterials that contain heat-sensitive compounds. It has a higher rate than other low-temperature methods, such as solar and freeze-drying. However, its not high enough to compete with conventional thermal hot-air drying. For industrial a...

Regardless of the technology, additive or subtractive, miniaturization trend is constantly pushing for smaller resolutions. The rise global challenges in material availability, fabrication three dimensions (3D), design flexibility and rapid prototyping have pushed manufacturing (AM) into spotlight. Addressing trend, AM has already successfully answered microscale 3D fabrication. However, fabric...
