Opportunity:
Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL), operated by the Lawrence Livermore National Security (LLNS), LLC under contract no. DE-AC52-07NA27344 (Contract 44) with the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), is offering the opportunity to enter into a collaboration to further develop and commercialize its Multimaterial Thixotropic Conductive Elastomeric 3D Printed Materials.
Background:
In addition to control of ink architecture DIW 3D printing, allows for the production of functional inks with a variety of special additives. The addition of conductive fillers into a DIW polymer matrix facilitates the transport of electrical charges throughout the composite, resulting in an overall decrease in material resistance. Such conductive elastomeric composites are a largely expanding area of research as replacements for conventional metallic electronics that require complex processing and rigid metals that could damage sensitive structures. Materials for soft electronics, on the other hand, are produced simply through a facile mixing process, devoid of any hazardous chemicals that metal processing typically requires. Also, the compliant nature of many polymer-based materials means that flexible, soft electronics can be safely used in touch-sensitive applications such as robotics, healthcare, or structural component monitoring. One major drawback to these composites is the relatively large amount of conductive filler required to reduce resistance of the composite, typically on the order of 70 wt %, which results in the loss of rheological thixotropy for applications such as 3D printing, as well as a deterioration in mechanical properties.
Description:
LLNL researchers have developed a silicone based conductive, elastomeric 3D DIW printed structure with a lower wt.% conductive, composite filler to allow for the creation of 3D printed lattice structures with tunable conductivity. The conductivity of the printed struct... - Documents:
