ESR 15: Development and optimization of inks and 3D printing process of functional nanomaterials and parts

Objectives:
To develop ink formulations and 3D printing route for fabrication of functional nanomaterials with tailored combination of properties and smart nanomaterials
Expected Results:
– developed and optimized functional nanoparticles, e.g. nano-photoinitiators;
– developed ink formulations for 3D printing process on the basis of understanding the nanoparticles interactions and rheology of inks (WP1);
– optimized of the 3D printing process for ceramic objects based on ceramic nanoparticles and of stimuli-responsive hydrogels with nano-photoinitiators;
– characterized printed parts
