Hierarchical ordering in light-triggered additive manufacturing

“…87 Or can consist on a ceramic from which a glassy or metallic material can be recovered through post-printing curing. [88][89][90][91][92][93][94] ii) Hybrid polymeric materials can also refer to matrices finally containing at least two microphases of different types, as, for example, to mechanically strong fibres (such as glass fibres, carbon fibres, or nanocellulose) dispersed in a polymeric matrix, [95][96][97][98][99][100][101] or to nanocrystalline moieties covalently embedded within the final structure of the polymeric material.…”

Electromechanical Properties of PVDF-Based Polymers Reinforced with Nanocarbonaceous Fillers for Pressure Sensing Applications

“…In fact, it has been shown in different graphene/PVDF [12] and CNT/PVDF [15] composites with low filler content into the PVDF matrix, that their presence do not influence the spherulitic size and the kinetic of crystallization, the cross-section SEM images demonstrating a homogeneous dispersion of the nanocarbonaceous fillers, independently of the filler type and content [12]. Morphological analysis of the nanocarbonaceous/polymer composites have been intensively studied in literature [7,50,51], the present results being in agreement with the reported literature (data not shown). The 05CNT/6010 sample shows an initial modulus near E≈ 1.4 GPa.…”

A Review on Functionally Graded Materials and Structures via Additive Manufacturing: From Multi‐Scale Design to Versatile Functional Properties

“…Additive manufacturing (AM), also termed as 3D printing, is a near net shape manufacturing process, which can be used to directly manufacture complicated 3D objects without requiring molds, tooling or the need for joining or assembling. [ 13 ] In addition, AM has the advantage of allowing flexible designs which can be optimized for specific geometrical requirements or applications where complex procedures or geometries are too time‐consuming, expensive, or difficult to manufacture by conventional manufacturing (CM) processes. Currently, the rapid development of AM technologies is no longer restricted to single‐phase materials.…”
