Powder-Based Processing and Modelling is an enabling fundamental research theme in Materials, encompassing applications in nanotechnologies, electronics, energy and biotechnologies. This Platform Grant aims to further advance our innovative processing techniques in powder ink-jet, electrohydrodynamic jetting, filament freeforming, and dry-powder dispensing, with high-throughput capabilities for materials discovery; and apply such techniques to clean energy generation / storage and to biomaterials /structures. Multiscale materials modelling techniques will continue to be developed and applied for the design and development of materials structures and systems for such applications. This intercollegiate collaborative research platform will consolidate the integration of research strengths in powder processing and modelling from both QMUL and UCL for much added value. It will also enhance our international stance and recognition in the research theme, and facilitate strategic changes of our research, directing them into tangible applications towards energy, security, and biomaterials, some of the pressing challenges of our age. Specifically, we have identified ways of refining the resolution of dry powder dispensing in solid freeforming by ultrasonic actuation and laser guidance and in filamentary solid freeforming methods by extrusion through <50 ?m dia dies and by electrohydrodynamic jetting, micro-threading and electrospinning of ceramics. We are now running a working thick-film combinatorial robot for ceramics. We will apply these techniques to biomedical applications such as tissue engineering and maxillofacial scaffold construction; to clean energy technologies including electrodes for biofuel cells, novel structures for high capacity and heat-management in hydrogen storage, photoelectrocatalysis, and THz energy-efficient metamaterials. These represent some of the priority research themes of our time, where the proposed platform programme in highly innovative areas of powder processing can make significant contributions.

基于粉末的加工和建模是材料的一个基础研究主题，包括纳米技术，电子，能源和生物技术的应用。该平台赠款旨在进一步推进我们在粉末喷墨，电流体动力喷射，长丝自由成型和干粉分配方面的创新加工技术，具有高通量的材料发现能力;并将这些技术应用于清洁能源发电/储存和生物材料/结构。将继续开发多尺度材料模型技术，并将其应用于设计和开发用于此类应用的材料、结构和系统。这个校际合作研究平台将巩固QMUL和UCL在粉末加工和建模方面的研究优势，以获得更大的附加值。它还将提高我们在研究主题中的国际地位和认可度，并促进我们研究的战略转变，将其引导到能源，安全和生物材料的实际应用中，这些都是我们这个时代的一些紧迫挑战。具体而言，我们已经确定了细化的固体自由成型的干粉分配的分辨率的超声驱动和激光引导和在非常规固体自由成型方法通过挤出<50？通过电流体动力学喷射、微螺纹和陶瓷的电纺丝，我们现在正在运行一个陶瓷厚膜组合机器人。我们将把这些技术应用于生物医学应用，如组织工程和颌面支架建设;清洁能源技术，包括生物燃料电池的电极，储氢，光电催化和THz节能超材料的高容量和热管理的新结构。这些代表了我们这个时代的一些优先研究主题，在粉末加工的高度创新领域，拟议的平台计划可以做出重大贡献。
