Abstract Scope |
Mechanical properties of nano-porous (np) metals are crucial for their usage in microfluidic and sensing devices, coatings, and actuation components. These applications are further opened through new nanoscale manufacturing methods like electrohydrodynamic redox 3D printing (EHD-RP). To investigate the unique opportunities in additive manufacturing of np metals, we present a comprehensive analysis of mechanical response using nanoindentation in both EHD-RP and magnetron sputtered np Ag. This investigation links microstructural features including ligament size, and mechanical deformation behavior in order to highlight the role of processing in np Ag. Further comparison with existing theoretical models provides additional insight to the mechanical processes governing the behavior of np Ag. This step towards elucidating the relationship between processing and mechanical properties provides an expanded understanding of np metals and facilitates more optimized integration into complex and multifunctional nanotechnologies. One example of this would be sensors in microfluidic devices, subjected to high fluid forces. |
