The concept of using additive manufacturing as a method to construct heterogeneous substrates from a single building material via stereolithography is introduced. The dynamic variation of air cavities within the bulk material is used to control the effective permittivity of the host medium. The digitally driven layer process enables full three-dimensional variation of the local permittivity. The high resolution of stereolithography enables sub-millimetre control of air inclusion features. Measurements of the effective permittivity with different air fractions have been compared to analytical results.
This paper is the case study of a project undertaken over summer 2014 by Dr Eleanor Quince (Director of Employability) and student interns Charlotte Medland, Verity Smith, Amber Dudley and James Tribe at the University of Southampton in the Faculty of Humanities. The Faculty hosts over 3,000 students studying single or combined degrees across seven disciplines: Archaeology, English, Film, History, Modern Languages, Music and Philosophy. Our internship remit was to create and launch a new student-led employability strategy for the Faculty of Humanities. The strategy needed to be both engaging and flexible, with tailored options for each of the seven disciplines.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
