“…Colloidal semiconductor nanowires have also been printed with a polystyrene–polyisoprene–polystyrene block copolymer matrix. [ 260 ] The 3D printing process enables good control over the alignment of the nanowire. SAXS result suggests that the printed block copolymer filaments have a long‐range order and an anisotropic structure ( Figure A).…”

3D printing is a rapidly growing technology that has an enormous potential to impact a wide range of industries such as engineering, art, education, medicine, and aerospace. The flexibility in design provided by this technique offers many opportunities for manufacturing sophisticated 3D devices. The most widely utilized method is an extrusion‐based solid‐freeform fabrication approach, which is an extremely attractive additive manufacturing technology in both academic and industrial research communities. This method is versatile, with the ability to print a range of dimensions, multimaterial, and multifunctional 3D structures. It is also a very affordable technique in prototyping. However, the lack of variety in printable polymers with advanced material properties becomes the main bottleneck in further development of this technology. Herein, a comprehensive review is provided, focusing on material design strategies to achieve or enhance the 3D printability of a range of polymers including thermoplastics, thermosets, hydrogels, and other polymers by extrusion techniques. Moreover, diverse advanced properties exhibited by such printed polymers, such as mechanical strength, conductance, self‐healing, as well as other integrated properties are highlighted. Lastly, the stimuli responsiveness of the 3D printed polymeric materials including shape morphing, degradability, and color changing is also discussed.

“…For example, DIW can be used to orient nanowires to program an optical response to polarized light. Zhou et al programmed the alignment of cesium lead halide (CsPbX3, X = Cl, Br, and I) nanowires with a perovskite crystal structure to form polarized optical architectures 200. The ink consisted of perovskite nanowires suspended in a polystyrene‐polyisoprene‐polystyrene (SIS) block copolymer matrix.…”

The synergistic integration of nanomaterials with 3D printing technologies can enable the creation of architecture and devices with an unprecedented level of functional integration. In particular, a multiscale 3D printing approach can seamlessly interweave nanomaterials with diverse classes of materials to impart, program, or modulate a wide range of functional properties in an otherwise passive 3D printed object. However, achieving such multiscale integration is challenging as it requires the ability to pattern, organize, or assemble nanomaterials in a 3D printing process. This review highlights the latest advances in the integration of nanomaterials with 3D printing, achieved by leveraging mechanical, electrical, magnetic, optical, or thermal phenomena. Ultimately, it is envisioned that such approaches can enable the creation of multifunctional constructs and devices that cannot be fabricated with conventional manufacturing approaches.

“…Halide perovskites with the general formula of APbX 3 (A = MA, FA, and Cs; X = Cl, Br, and I) have been widely adopted in photovoltaics and lighting applications owing to their high absorption coefficient,12 intense photoluminescence (PL) emission,13 controllable optoelectronic property,14 and ability to grow by cost‐effective solution process 15. With elongated 1D structure and high refractive index compared with the environment, perovskite nanowires (NWs) and nanorods are able to emit strongly polarized light 16–19. For instance, Tauber et al reported the polarized emission from an individual MAPbI 3 NW with high degree of linear polarization (DOLP) of 0.7 20.…”

Polarizers play a key role in generating polarized light for display, imaging, and data communication, but adoption often suffers from high optical loss. Recently, due to superior optoelectronic properties, halide perovskites have been widely developed for lighting applications; however, highly polarized emission (polarization degree >0.8) has not yet been realized with perovskites. Herein, by incorporating inkjet printing and an anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) confinement strategy, highly ordered perovskite nanowire (NW) arrays are demonstrated for anisotropic optical applications. The optical device based on perovskite NW arrays reveals a high photoluminescence external quantum efficiency of 21.6% and emits highly polarized light with polarization degree up to 0.84. The highly polarized emission from perovskite NW arrays has potential to considerably reduce the optical loss of polarizers, which may attract great interest in developing polarized light sources for next‐generation optoelectronic applications.
