Aerosol-Jet Printing And Flash Sintering Of Conformal Conductors On Non-Planar Surfaces, I-Meng Chen
Aerosol-Jet Printing And Flash Sintering Of Conformal Conductors On Non-Planar Surfaces, I-Meng Chen
Masters Theses
”The printed electronics have been broadly applied in our daily lives, many new manufacturing methodologies are studied and investigated. The research here presented the full manufacturing process of printed conductors of aerosol printing and flash sintering techniques on substrates such as planar and non-planar surfaces.
The aerosol printing (AJP) was introduced because of its simplicity in experimental setup and flexibility of printing. It produces less ink waste and consumes less manufacturing cost. Furthermore, it has the direct-write ability to print in any customized patterns or shapes on non-planar surfaces. In this study, the Cu NPs was selected as the functioning …

"There are many scientific and engineering applications of glass including optics, communications, electronics, and hermetic seals, there has been minimal research towards the Additive Manufacturing (AM) of transparent glass parts. The special thermal and optical properties of glasses make them hard to be printed using conventional AM techniques. In this dissertation, two different AM techniques for glass AM were developed, Selective Laser Melting (SLM) and filament fed process.
Semi-transparent parts were printed with SLM process. However, the filament fed process was found to be more robust and promising for printing optically transparent glass parts. Therefore, this dissertation is focused on …
