Abstract Scope |
Additive electronics manufacturing (AEM) techniques such as aerosol jet printing (AJP), inkjet printing (IJP), and micro dispense printing (MDP) have demonstrated significant potential for the development of advanced instrumentation for extreme environments. However, commercially available nanomaterial inks have thus far limited applications of AEM for extreme environments, i.e. environments with high radiation, high temperature, or high chemical gradients. Here we highlight recent efforts to develop novel nanomaterial inks for AEM. Particular focus is given to nanomaterial ink synthesis for nuclear, space, and medical environments. Applications of printed films in energy harvesting/storage, in-pile instrumentation, and tissue engineering are highlighted to demonstrate the importance of understanding the structure-property-processing correlations of nanomaterial ink synthesis for AEM tool set selection in developing sensors and instrumentation for extreme environments. |
