3D Printing Electronic Materials

这个学生的目的是研究利用材料喷射方法生产三维电子设备的能力，材料喷射方法是增材制造（通常称为3D打印）的一个子集。通过与理学院和制造技术中心的同事合作，该学生将加入一个世界领先的研究团队和生产三维电子传感设备的环境，目前无法通过传统方法生产。学生将研究与该技术相关的耦合制造和材料挑战，并确定释放该方法潜力所需的科学发现。使用最先进的设备（在两个机构），成功的候选人将沉浸在配方，交付，加工和表征这种低浪费，颠覆性技术的新材料。

This studentship aims to investigate the capability of producing three dimensional electronic devices utilising the Material Jetting method, a subset of Additive Manufacturing (commonly referred to 3D Printing). In collaboration with colleagues in the Faculty of Science and at The Manufacturing Technology Centre, this studentship will join a world leading research team and environment for the production of 3 dimensional electronic sensing devices, currently impossible to produce via traditional methods. The studentship will investigate the coupled manufacturing and materials challenges associated with the technique and determine the scientific discoveries necessary to unlock the potential of this method. Using state of the art equipment (at both institutions) the successful candidate will be immersed in the formulation, delivery, processing and characterisation of novel materials for this low waste, disruptive technology.
