3D printing of multi-level porosity glass

该项目旨在探索3D打印玻璃和多级多孔结构的基本原理。塑料和金属的3D打印无法实现低成本，坚固，透明和生物相容的设备。玻璃和陶瓷3D打印的出现可以克服这些限制。此外，多级孔隙结构对于诸如能源、健康和环境的各个领域的进步变得至关重要。该项目的预期成果将包括开发更可持续的玻璃和陶瓷制造程序以及新的高性能多级孔隙度设备。该项目应通过解决澳大利亚的四个科学和研究优先事项提供重大利益。

This project aims to explore the fundamentals of 3D printing glass and multi-level porosity structures. 3D printing of plastics and metals fails to realise low-cost, robust, transparent, and biocompatible devices. The advent of glass and ceramic 3D printing can overcome these limitations. Moreover, multi-level porosity structures are becoming vital to the advancement of various fields, such as energy, health, and environmental. Expected outcomes of the project would include the development of more sustainable glass and ceramic manufacturing procedure and new high-performance multi-level porosity devices. The project should provide significant benefits by addressing four science and research priorities of Australia.
