“更令人惊讶的是，这个多功能平台可以重新配置，以有效，精确地结合分子以形成非常特定的产品，例如有机电池材料。”
All liquid 3D printing
Last year, Helms and Thomas Russell a visiting faculty scientist in Berkeley Lab’s Materials Sciences Division, developednovel liquid structures使用修改后QidiX-one 3D printer. With the X-one, liquids were printed at the micron scale, allowing researchers to “place threads of water anywhere we want in three dimensions.”
These threads of water created liquid tube structures suspended in a container of oil. This research has led the Berkely Lab team to further investigate the applications of this method. Helms added, “After that successful demonstration, a bunch of us got together to brainstorm on how we could use liquid printing to fabricate a functioning device.”
“然后发生在我们身上：如果我们可以在定义的频道中打印液体和通过它们破坏的液体，那么我们可以为广泛的应用制作有用的流体设备，从新型的微型化学实验室到电池和电子设备。”
3D printable fluidic devices
做一个3 d打印射流装置,Wenqian沼泽g, a postdoctoral researcher in Berkeley Lab’s Materials Sciences Division and lead author of the new study, designed a specially patterned glass substrate.
This allows two liquids to come together within milliseconds form a very thin channel or tube about 1 millimeter in diameter. These liquids consist of nanoscale clay particles and polymer particles and can be 3D printed into bridges between channels to connect flowing chemicals. With computer controls, a desired chemical reaction can be conducted.
Helms continued, “The form and functions of these devices are only limited by the imagination of the researcher.”
“自主合成是化学和材料群落中的新兴领域，我们针对全液流量化学的3D打印设备的技术可能有助于在建立该领域中发挥重要作用。”
“利用液体液体打印和微图案基材制造三维全液体液体设备，”由Wenqian Feng, Yu Chai, Joe Forth, Paul D. Ashby, Thomas P. Russell, and Brett A. Helms.
