Additive manufacturing of graded dielectrics

Abstract: A method for the fabrication of graded dielectrics within a structural composite is presented. This system employs an ultrasonic powder deposition head to print high dielectric powders onto a woven fabric composite substrate. It is shown how this system can integrate 3D variations of dielectric properties at millimeter resolution within a mechanically rugged substrate. To conclude, the system’s practical application is demonstrated with experimental results from a graded index lens.

“…42 The power of AM is in its ability to produce zirconia parts with textured anti-reflective surfaces (eg moth-eyelike), which makes these structures attractive for use in hightemperature missile and rocket radomes that are required to protect expensive antennas and electronics from both natural and operational conditions. 43,44 Other applications of this technology include ceramic substrates for transmission lines and antennas, coded apertures for X-ray imaging, passive beam-forming lenses using spatially graded properties, and photonic crystals. Photonic crystals can be produced by printing metamaterial structures with periodic dielectric constant variation.…”

“… 1 2 There are various additive processes both in the way layers are deposited to create parts and in the materials that are used. 3 Stereolithography (SLA) is the first 3D printing technique, introduced to production systems by Charles W. Hull in 1986. 4 SLA utilizes liquid ultraviolet (UV)-curable photopolymer and a UV light source to build parts of an object based on cross-sectional patterns made by computer design.…”

“…Spatially varied refractive index gradients have been applied in anti-reflective surfaces, passive beamformers and graded index lenses. [210][211][212][213] Conventional technologies, including ion exchange and sol-gel techniques, with common limitations such as long processing times (typically >100 h) and limited component sizes (typically <13 mm), can be overcome by using FGMs and FGSs. [214] Roper et al [210] printed dielectric powders (ECCOSTOCK HiK) on fabric-glass composite substrates (S-glass/cyanate ester fiber reinforced via ultrasonic powder deposition.…”
