Thermosets, such as epoxy and silicon rubbers, are a class of polymer (i.e., plastic) materials that harden permanently when they undergo a specific chemical reaction, known as "crosslinking." These ...

An Oregon State University researcher has helped create a new 3D printing approach for shape-changing materials that are ...

D printing creates hydrophobic barriers in hydrophilic paper, guiding liquids along precise paths for controlled mixing, gradients, and two-phase separation.

A team of engineers and doctors has designed a unique 3D-printed light-sensing medical device that could help millions of people worldwide with lupus and other light-sensitive diseases. A team of ...

A fabrication process can produce self-heating microfluidic devices in one step using a multimaterial 3D printer. These devices, which can be made rapidly and cheaply in large numbers, could help ...

Light-based 3D printing now works with switchable redox polymer inks, enabling complex structures that change color electrochemically for advanced optoelectronic devices. The complex two- and ...

A new 3D printing technique developed at the University of Texas at Austin uses different light colors to fuse soft and hard materials into a single object, mimicking the flexibility and strength ...

A team of engineers and doctors at the University of Minnesota Twin Cities have designed a unique 3D-printed light-sensing medical device that is placed directly on the skin and gives real-time ...

We can safely say that major companies are interested in 3D printed electronics, at least from a research and development perspective. However, this may be somewhat quotidian, given what may be in ...
