| Abstract Scope |
3D printing of TiO<sub>2</sub> foams show great potential ranging from efficient solar cells, to batteries and radiation shielding in space applications. This is due to the ability to digitally manufacture complex shapes of multifunctional materials with little material waste. In particular, the foam architecture, providing multi-scale hierarchy, exhibits special properties and features that usually cannot be achieved by using traditional, bulk, non-porous materials.
The ceramic foam inks for printing are challenging to control in terms of long-term stability and the determination of relevant parameters able to minimize their instability is still a major research issue.
In this presentation we will discuss how the foam coarsening is affected by increasing the TiO<sub>2</sub> particles concentration and its potential impact on the rheological properties of the foam inks as well as on their 3D printing characteristics.
