Direct Ink Write 3D Printing of Fully Dense and Functionally Graded Liquid Metal Elastomer Foams (Adv. Funct. Mater. 46/2024)

Direct Ink Write 3D Printing In article number 2410908, Michael D. Bartlett, Eric J. Markvicka, and Spencer Pak leverage direct ink writing 3D printing to program both liquid metal microstructure and material architecture of printed composites. This technique enables the fabrication of high-quality multilayer structures with minimal defects, as well as functionally graded foam structures for capacitive sensors with high sensitivity and large dynamic range.
