    • 3D Printing of Interdigitated Li-Ion Microbattery Architectures 

      Sun, Ke; Wei, Teng-Sing; Ahn, Bok Yeop; Seo, Jung Yoon; Dillon, Shen J.; Lewis, Jennifer (Wiley-Blackwell, 2013)
      3D interdigitated microbattery architectures (3D-IMA) are fabricated by printing concentrated lithium oxide-based inks. The microbatteries are composed of interdigitated, high-aspect ratio cathode and anode structures. Our ...
    • 3D Printing of Liquid Crystal Elastomer Actuators 

      Kotikian, Arda (2021-07-12)
      Soft robotics offer advantages over their rigid counterparts due to the intrinsic softness of their consisting materials, soft robotic matter. When equipped with programmable shape morphing and controllable function, soft ...
    • 3D Printing of Transparent and Conductive Heterogeneous Hydrogel-Elastomer Systems 

      Tian, Kevin; Bae, Jinhye; Bakarich, Shannon E.; Yang, Canhui; Gately, Reece D.; Spinks, Geoffrey M.; in het Panhuis, Marc; Suo, Zhigang; Vlassak, Joost J. (Wiley-Blackwell, 2017)
      Hydrogel-based ionic devices represent an alternative approach to stretchable electronics through use of soft ionic conductors that are both highly stretchable and transparent. However, these devices require the integration ...
    • Active mixing of complex fluids at the microscale 

      Ober, Thomas J.; Foresti, Daniele; Lewis, Jennifer (Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2015)
      Mixing of complex fluids at low Reynolds number is fundamental for a broad range of applications, including materials assembly, microfluidics, and biomedical devices. Of these materials, yield stress fluids (and gels) pose ...
    • Biomimetic Tympanic Membrane Grafts 

      Black, Nicole Leah (2020-11-23)
      The tympanic membrane (TM), commonly known as the eardrum, is a thin tissue that captures sound waves from the environment and transmits them to the ossicles of the middle ear. Importantly, its circumferential and radial ...
    • From Digital to Physical: Computational Aspects of 3D Manufacturing 

      Baecher, Moritz Niklaus (2013-10-18)
      The desktop publishing revolution of the 1980s is currently repeating itself in 3D, referred to as desktop manufacturing. Online services such as Shapeways have become available, making personalized manufacturing on cutting ...
    • High-Throughput Printing via Microvascular Multinozzle Arrays 

      Hansen, Christopher J.; Saksena, Rajat; Kolesky, David Barry; Vericella, John J.; Kranz, Stephen J.; Muldowney, Gregory P.; Christensen, Kenneth T.; Lewis, Jennifer (Wiley-Blackwell, 2012)
      Microvascular multinozzle arrays are designed and fabricated for high-throughput printing of functional materials. Ink-flow uniformity within these multigeneration, bifurcating microchannel arrays is characterized by ...
    • Using “Click-e-Bricks” to Make 3D Elastomeric Structures 

      Morin, Stephen A.; Shevchenko, Yanina; Lessing, Joshua; Kwok, Sen Wai; Shepherd, Robert F.; Stokes, Adam A.; Whitesides, George McClelland (Wiley-Blackwell, 2014)
      Soft, 3D elastomeric structures and composite structures are easy to fabricate using click-e-bricks, and the internal architecture of these structures together with the capabilities built into the bricks themselves provide ...
