Relationship between topological structures and mechanical properties of artificially architected SiC cellular ceramics: Experimental and numerical study

Due to their topological superiority, the architected materials facilitate the improvement of the physical and mechanical properties of cellular materials. With the progress of additive manufacturing technologies, the fabrication of architected silicon carbide (SiC) cellular ceramics has become achievable. This study focuses on the indirect additive manufacturing method of SiC cellular ceramics consisting of 3D printing, replication, and reaction-bonded sintering. To study the impact of the topology on the mechanical performance, three strut-based unit cell structures and stochastic foam with robust solid struts were experimentally and numerically studied. Results showed that the hexahedron structure has the highest compression strength, the tetrakaidecahedron structure has the highest flexural strength, while the regular structures have higher mechanical performance than the stochastic foam. The deformation mechanisms of the topologies under the compression load indicated that the hexahedron, tetrakaidecahedron, and stochastic foam favor the bending-dominated deformation mode, while the octet favors the stretching-dominated deformation mode.

A review of 3D printed porous ceramics

Three-dimensional (3D) printing of ceramics has gained widespread attentions in recent years. Many excellent reviews have reported the printing of ceramics. However, most of them focus on printing of dense ceramics or general ceramic aspects, there is no systematical review about 3D printing of porous ceramics. In this review paper, the 3D printing technologies for fabricating of porous ceramic parts are introduced, including binder jetting, selective laser sintering, direct ink writing, stereolithography, laminated object manufacturing, and indirect 3D printing processes. The techniques to fabricate hierarchical porous ceramics by integrating 3D printing with one or more conventional porous ceramics fabrication approaches are reviewed. The main properties of porous ceramics such as pore size, porosity, and compressive strength are discussed. The emerging applications of 3D printed porous ceramics are presented with a focus on the booming application in bone tissue engineering. Finally, summary and a perspective on the future research directions for 3D printed porous ceramics are provided.     

Digital light processing additive manufacturing of in situ mullite-zirconia composites

Digital light processing (DLP) can produce small series ceramic parts with complex geometries and tiny structures without the high cost of molds usually associated with traditional ceramic processing. However, the availability of feedstock of different ceramics for the technique is still limited. Mullite-zirconia composites are refractory materials with diverse applications, nevertheless, their 3D printing has never been reported. In this work, alumina and zircon were used as raw materials for additive manufacturing by DLP followed by in situ mullite and zirconia formation. Thus, coarse zircon powder was milled to submicrometric size, alumina-zircon photosensitive slurries were prepared and characterized, parts were manufactured in a commercial DLP 3D printer, debound, and sintered at different temperatures. The printed parts sintered at 1600 °C completed the reaction sintering and reached a flexural strength of 84 ± 13 MPa. The process proved capable of producing detailed parts that would be unfeasible by other manufacturing methods.

Coupling additive manufacturing and microwave sintering: A fast processing route of alumina ceramics

In this paper, a quick and efficient route to produce complex-shape alumina is reported. Alumina pieces are shaped by additive manufacturing (stereolithography) and densified by microwave sintering. Two raw powders are investigated in terms of both printing and microwave sintering: one alumina grade appropriate for additive manufacturing but not for microwave sintering, and vice-versa for the other grade. The mixture of the two raw powders allows both stereolithography printing and microwave sintering. Alumina parts processed by additive manufacturing followed by microwave sintering were successfully prepared and exhibited relative densities of about 93%, elastic modulus up to 236 GPa and Vickers hardness up to 12 GPa. Notwithstanding the part properties, the as-proposed coupling resulted in a time saving of 30%.

Stepwise Optimized 3D Printing of Arbitrary 3D Structures at Millimeter Scale with High Precision Surface

3D printing based on additive manufacturing has attracted widespread attention in the fields of microbiology and microelectronics due to its advantages of waste reduction, arbitrary manufacturing, and rapid prototyping in potential applications. These techniques can create structures at the centimeter scale, however, there are some limitations in terms of resolution and geometric constraints. Here, a micro–nano 3D printing protocol based on additive manufacturing to achieve the 3D structure (3DS) not only possessing millimeter scale structural dimensions but also nanometer features are proposed. A theory is verified to assist the design and fabrication of the 3DS with millimeter scale and nanometer precision. The structures are predesigned and the scanning strategy is optimized before 3D printing to improve the manufacturing efficiency and precision. A customized 3DS with a height of 2.2 mm is obtained, which is a challenge for the conventional two‐photon polymerization fabrication. Furthermore, a 1.2 mm 3DS with inside scaffold and smooth surface is efficiently achieved within 2.7 h with a nanometer surface roughness by using the proposed stepwise optimized 3D printing process. This study offers a flexible and low‐cost technology to generate highly customizable, precisely controllable 3DS for potential applications in microelectronics and microdevices.     

The Influence of the Material Structure on the Mechanical Properties of Geopolymer Composites Reinforced with Short Fibers Obtained with Additive Technologies

Additive manufacturing technologies have a lot of potential advantages for construction application, including increasing geometrical construction flexibility, reducing labor costs, and improving efficiency and safety, and they are in line with the sustainable development policy. However, the full exploitation of additive manufacturing technology for ceramic materials is currently limited. A promising solution in these ranges seems to be geopolymers reinforced by short fibers, but their application requires a better understanding of the behavior of this group of materials. The main objective of the article is to investigate the influence of the microstructure of the material on the mechanical properties of the two types of geopolymer composites (flax and carbon-reinforced) and to compare two methods of production of geopolymer composites (casting and 3D printing). As raw material for the matrix, fly ash from the Skawina coal power plant (located at: Skawina, Lesser Poland, Poland) was used. The provided research includes mechanical properties, microstructure investigations with the use of scanning electron microscope (SEM), confocal microscopy, and atomic force microscope (AFM), chemical and mineralogical (XRD-X-ray diffraction, and XRF-X-ray fluorescence), analysis of bonding in the materials (FT-IR), and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy analysis (NMR). The best mechanical properties were reached for the sample made by simulating 3D printing process for the composite reinforced by flax fibers (48.7 MPa for the compressive strength and 9.4 MPa for flexural strength). The FT-IR, XRF and XRD results show similar composition of all investigated materials. NMR confirms the presence of SiO₄ and AlO₄ tetrahedrons in a three-dimensional structure that is crucial for geopolymer structure. The microscopy observations show a better coherence of the geopolymer made in additive technology to the reinforcement and equal fiber distribution for all investigated materials. The results show the samples made by the additive technology had comparable, or better, properties with those made by a traditional casting method.     

3D printing dielectric elastomers for advanced functional structures: A mini-review

Three-dimensional (3D) printed bionic products play an important role in intelligent robotics, microelectronics, and polymers. The printing and manufacturing process of 3D printers is conducive to obtaining soft structures that meet specific requirements, and saves time and cost. Soft intelligent robotics, an emerging research field, has always been developed based on soft materials and actuators with their biological properties. This article reviews the current understanding of 3D bioprinting technologies for dielectric elastomers (DEs), DE actuators (DEAs) and soft robots, such as inkjet, extrusion, laser-induced and stereolithography bioprinting. 3D printers for fabricating soft materials are presented and classified. The approaches to exploit 3D bioprinters for DEs/DEAs are as follows: (1) 3D printing DEAs utilize ionic hydrogel–elastomer hybrids that are analogous to human muscles, and the DEAs usually have flexible structures and large deformations with multiple functionalities. (2) An electrohydrodynamic (EHD) 3D printer confers high printing resolution and high production efficiency, which offers advantages such as full automation and flexible design. The optimal printing conditions are mainly determined by the effects of printing voltages and ink properties, which are related to the formation of the liquid cone and the printed line width. Furthermore, the advantages of 3D bioprinting technologies have accelerated their development and applications.

Dual gradient direct ink writing of functional geopolymer-based carbonyl-iron/graphene composites for adjustable broadband microwave absorption

As a novel type of moulding technology, additive manufacturing (AM) can realise the rapid manufacturing of complex structures. This research applied dual gradient direct ink writing (DGDIW) with in-situ dispersion to fabricate multi-materials in an extensive gradient range. Functionally graded materials (FGM) have emerged as intelligent composites with peculiar advantages in wave absorption applications. An FGM geopolymer containing carbonyl-iron and graphene (CIG) powders with graded structure was successfully fabricated to enhance the wave-absorbing property via DGDIW three-dimensional (3D) printing. Compared with the non-structured homogeneous geopolymer composites, FGM composites performed more consecutive and effective absorbing from 2 to 18 GHz, resulting in a significantly increased electromagnetic (EM) wave absorption property. Combining with the gradient content of CIG fillers, the impedance matching and electromagnetic attenuation of 3D printed gradient lattice structure geopolymer composites has been significantly improved, the minimum reflection loss can reach ?46.47 dB at 17.58 GHz with a broadband absorption of 14.62 GHz (3.38–18.00 GHz). The results provided a promising strategy for fabricating functional graded ceramic composites with great potential as an absorption device in wave absorption applications, especially in protective structures, radiation-proof equipment/architecture, and defence constructions.
