Topologically engineered 3D printed architectures with superior mechanical strength

Next-generation finely controlled graded porous antibacterial bioceramics for high-efficiency vascularization in orbital reconstruction

“…The computer-assisted design (CAD) can be simultaneously used to precisely control the pore geometry and interconnectivity of porous scaffolds [ 29 ]. Recently, triply periodic minimal surfaces (TPMS)-based pore architectures including pore unit cells, such as diamond, gyroid, primitive and IWP, have been widely utilized in tissue engineering due to their mathematically controllable pore size, interconnected porosity, huge surface area and superior mechanical support [ 30 ]. Studies targeted the 3D printing of porous metallic scaffolds with TPMS-based pore architecture for bone tissue regeneration, which structures may easily mimic the natural trabecular bone structure of human bones [ 31 , 32 ].…”

“…In particular, the hardystonite scaffolds with graded pore size distribution from center to periphery (from 500 to 800 μm or vice versa) were printed by the DLP technique. The IWP unit cell this paper used for topological design were firstly fabricated by Abueidda et al [ 30 ]. and has been proven to be successfully utilized in preparing bioceramic scaffolds with completely interconnected and accurately controlled pore structure in our previous study [ 33 ].…”

Rain Energy Harvesting Using Atomically Thin Gadolinium Telluride Decorated 3d Printed Nanogenerator

“…Recently, 3D printing-based flexible, efficient, and economical energy storage devices are gained huge popularity [10] [11] due to their several advantages such as flexibility, geometry controllability, lightweight, customizable, high mechanical property, single printing system for complex or different materials, etc. [12] [13] [14]. Since the amount of energy generation directly depends on contact surface area therefore 3D printing can be a crucial techinque as it can easily be utilized for the fabrication of complex porous structures that can provide higher surface area [15] [16].…”

3D Printed Materials in Water Treatment Applications

“…[8] 3DP techniques have enabled us to print complex structures, which have opened new ways of material strengthening (lightweight and smart structures). Lightweight 3D printed frameworks which are topologically arranged possess notable mechanical strength, [9] Environmental applications consist of the invention of a 3D printed moving bed filter for eradication of floating nanoparticles from water, [10] 3D printed porous framework which is furnished by zinc oxide magnifies efficiency of water cleaning . [11] 3D printed aerogels from graphene-biopolymer for removal of water pollutants, [12] water filtration, [13] desalination, [14] oil/water separation, [15] and heavy metal removal.…”
