The formulation of a stabilized ceramic ink and the adaptation of a piezoelectric-activated drop- on-demand jet printer with a 65 mm nozzle for the direct solid freeforming of ceramics by multilayer jet printing is reported. The procedure has exciting implications for the miniaturization of ceramic circuits and for the fabrication of solid oxide fuel cells, ordered ceramic composites and small monolithic ceramic components of complex shape.
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.
