3D Printing Electronic Materials

这个项目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，材料喷射方法是添加剂制造(通常指3D打印)的一个子集。通过与理工学院和制造技术中心的同事合作，这名学生将加入世界领先的研究团队和环境，生产目前无法通过传统方法生产的三维电子传感设备。学生将调查与这项技术相关的制造和材料方面的挑战，并确定释放这种方法潜力所必需的科学发现。使用最先进的设备(在两个机构)，成功的候选人将沉浸在这种低浪费、颠覆性技术的新材料的配方、交付、加工和表征中。

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.
