Optoelectronic detectors for flow analysis systems manufactured by means of rapid prototyping technology
摘要： A universal, customizable design of 3D printed photometric and fluorometric flow-through detectors have been presented. The developed designs were fabricated with the use of the most affordable 3D printing technique, namely Fused Filament Fabrication, and require no other hardware nor tools to assemble. Numerous variants of detector geometries have been presented also. The designed parameters varied both in aperture (i.e. an internal diameter of the flow channel in an optical path) and in thickness of an absorbing layer. As expected, the geometry of the channels resulted in changes in the internal volumes. Two concepts of fluorometric detectors have also been described. The utility of all developed flow-through detectors was proven with the use of mechanized calibrations of both photometric and fluorometric dyes. Analytical parameters were characterized with the use of two model dyes: bromothymol blue and fluorescein for photometric for fluorometric experiments, respecively The repeatability of the 3D printed vessels was found at 3.5-8% of the mean relative standard deviation (RSD), depending on the construction of the vessel, which is comparable to rather expensive commercially available flow cells. The compatibility of used 3D printing materials was also examined.. For both variants of detection, light emitting diodes were applied as light emitters. As far as the light detectors are concerned, both CCD spectrophotometers and light emitting diodes were used.

Fully printed organic solar cells – a review of techniques, challenges and their solutions
摘要： The emergence of solar cells on flexible and bendable substrates has made the printing process a ubiquitous tool for the fabrication of these devices. The various printing techniques available now such as inkjet, screen and flexography offer cost-effectiveness, user-friendliness and suitability for mass production. While downscaling the fill factor and efficiency of organic solar cells. A multilayered structure, the combination of different printing techniques avails the variety of thickness and resolution required for each layer in the production of an organic solar cell. In this review article, we discuss the suitability of the inkjet and screen printing processes to produce organic solar cells. We also discuss various challenges involved in the fabrication of organic solar cells using these two techniques and the possible solutions for the same. We also provide an analogy that both processes share. Further, we consider future possibilities of combining these printing technologies to produce organic solar cells to improve device performance.

Selective Laser Sintering 3D Printing of Orally Disintegrating Printlets Containing Ondansetron
摘要： The aim of this work was to explore the feasibility of using selective laser sintering (SLS) 3D printing (3DP) to fabricate orodispersable printlets (ODPs) containing ondansetron. Ondansetron was first incorporated into drug‐cyclodextrin complexes and then combined with the filler mannitol. Two 3D printed formulations with different levels of mannitol were prepared and tested, and a commercial ondansetron orally disintegrating tablet (ODT) product (Vonau? Flash) was also investigated for comparison. Both 3D printed formulations disintegrated at ~15 s and released more than 90% of the drug within 5 min independent of the mannitol content; these results were comparable to those obtained with the commercial product. This work demonstrates the potential of SLS 3DP to fabricate orodispersible printlets with characteristics similar to a commercial ODT, but with the added benefit of using a manufacturing technology able to prepare medicines individualized to the patient.

A Versatile 3D and 4D Printing System through Photocontrolled RAFT Polymerization
摘要： Reversible addition-fragmentation chain-transfer (RAFT) polymerization is a valuable tool for synthesizing macromolecules with controlled topologies and diverse chemical functionalities. However, the application of RAFT polymerization to additive-manufacturing processes has been prevented due to the slow polymerization rates of typical systems. In this work, we developed a rapid visible light mediated RAFT polymerization process and applied it to a 3D printing system. The photosensitive resins contained a metal-free dye (erythrosin B) in conjunction with a tertiary amine co-catalyst (triethanolamine) and a trithiocarbonate RAFT agent (2-(butylthiocarbonothioylthio) propanoic acid) to afford polymerization without prior deoxygenation. The reaction components are non-toxic, metal free and environmentally friendly (water based photosensitive resin), which tailors these systems toward the fabrication of biomaterials. Following optimization of the resin formulation by varying the ratio of photocatalyst and tertiary amine, a variety of 3D printing conditions were investigated to prepare functional materials using green light (λmax = 525 nm, I0 = 0.32 mW/cm2). Furthermore, the mechanical properties of these 3D printed materials were tested under different conditions. Interestingly, the concentration of trithiocarbonate impacted the mechanical properties and the performance of these materials. Remarkably, the use of a photoinduced polymerization process provided facile spatial control over the network structure by varying the light dose to each layer of the 3D printed material; using this strategy, a 4D printing process was demonstrated via 3D printing and subsequent swelling and dehydration induced actuation. Furthermore, the trithiocarbonate species incorporated in the polymer networks were able to be reactivated after the initial 3D printing process, which enabled post functionalization of the printed materials via secondary photopolymerization processes. This RAFT-mediated 3D and 4D printing process should provide access to a range of new functional and stimuli-responsive materials.

24.3: <i>Invited Paper:</i> Printed Electrodes for All‐Solution‐Processed Inverted‐Structure OLEDs
摘要： A key enabling technology for all-printed organic light-emitting diodes is printing electrodes that can be used for anodes or cathodes for conventional or inverted device structures. In both device structures, the first bottom electrodes, which are either transparent or opaque depending on the device structure, are typically printed while the last top electrodes have been deposited by using a vacuum-based evaporation process because when the last top electrodes are fabricated by using a solution-based process, under organic layers are easily damaged during the fabrication process. Although so-called transfer printing process has been often reported for organic devices such as organic solar cells, it has been rarely applied for OLEDs. In addition, no fine patterning has been adopted in such printing processes. As part of our efforts towards all-printed OLEDs, inkjet-printed and/or transfer-printed, finely-patterned PEDOT:PSS electrodes have been investigated in our lab and most recent achievement will be reported in detail. In order to implement all-solution-processed OLEDs, we also studied the inverted-structure OLEDs, which showed comparable results to the conventional structure OLEDs with the vacuum-based deposited electrodes.

Thin Dielectric Layer Enabled Low Voltage Operation of Fully Printed Flexible Carbon Nanotube Thin Film Transistors
摘要： Quality of printable dielectric layer has become one of the major obstacles to achieve high performance fully printed transistors. A thick dielectric layer will require high gate voltage to switch on and off the transistors, which will cause high power dissipation in printed devices. In response to this challenge, fully printed carbon nanotube (CNT) based thin film transistors (TFTs) have been fabricated on flexible membranes such as polyimide and liquid crystal polymer using aerosol jet printing (AJP). These devices can be operated at bias voltages below ±10 V (drain/gate voltages around ±6 V). It is much smaller than the previously reported values for fully printed CNT-TFTs using xdi-dcs (mixture of poly(vinylphenol)/poly (methylsilsesquioxane)) as dielectric and using a single printing method. This is enabled because of thin dielectric layer (~300 nm) and good uniformity in printed CNT network. The printed CNT-TFTs show on/off ratio > 105, and mobility > 5 cm2V-1s-1. Layer-by-layer deposition of CNT allows highly uniform and dense network formation, and the optimization of the xdi-dcs concentration using natural butyl alcohol provides a high-yield printing of a thin dielectric layer. Collectively, this work shows a potential of using fully printed CNT-TFTs in various flexible electronic applications such as wearable sensors, actuators, artificial skins, displays and wireless tags and antennas.

[IEEE 2018 International Symposium on Micro-NanoMechatronics and Human Science (MHS) - Nagoya, Japan (2018.12.9-2018.12.12)] 2018 International Symposium on Micro-NanoMechatronics and Human Science (MHS) - Uniform Transfection: Shock Wave Generation in Laser Ablation and Microcontact Printing
摘要： With the increasing need of regenerative medicines, cell therapy, and biopharmaceutical drug, it is necessary to develop a method for massively parallel delivery and uniform transfection. This research explores the possibility of using μCP (using cell adhesive and cell blocking agents) for printing massive number of cells on a substrate and using optoporation methods (nano-second pulsed radiation) to perforate cell membranes. With combining these two methods, a stand-alone micro-device capable of performing localized intracellular delivery will be developed. In this paper, we confirmed the generation of shock wave upon optoporation, tried intra-cellular delivery using Calcein, develop the stamp for micro-contact printing and performed the printing.

Three-Dimensional Laser Printing of Macro-Scale Glass Objects at a Micro-Scale Resolution
摘要： Three-dimensional (3D) printing has allowed for the production of geometrically complex 3D objects with extreme flexibility, which is currently undergoing rapid expansion in terms of materials, functionalities, as well as areas of application. When attempting to print 3D microstructures in glass, femtosecond laser-induced chemical etching (FLICE)—which is a subtractive 3D printing technique—has proved itself a powerful approach. Here, we demonstrate the fabrication of macro-scale 3D glass objects of large heights up to ~3.8 cm with an identical lateral and longitudinal feature size of ~20 μm. The remarkable accomplishment is achieved by revealing an unexplored regime in the interaction of ultrafast laser pulses with fused silica, which results in depth-insensitive focusing of the laser pulses inside fused silica.

Post-Processing of FDM 3D-Printed Polylactic Acid Parts by Laser Beam Cutting
摘要： In this paper, the post-processing of 3D-printed poly lactic acid (PLA) parts is investigated. Workpieces are manufactured by fused deposition modeling (FDM) 3D printing, while they may have defects in some areas such as edges. A post-processing is introduced here for 3D-printed samples by low power CO2 laser. The thickness of the FDM samples are 3.2 mm and printed by optimum conditions. Effects of process parameters such as focal plane position (?3.2–3.2 mm), laser power (20–40 W), and laser cutting speed (1–13 mm/s) are examined based on the design of experiments (DOE). Geometrical features of the kerf; top and bottom kerf; taper; ratio of top to the bottom kerf are considered as output responses. An analysis of the experimental results by statistical software is conducted to survey the effects of process parameters and to obtain regression equations. By optimizing of the laser cutting process; an appropriate kerf quality is obtained and also optimum input parameters are suggested. Experimental verification tests show a good agreement between empirical results and statistical predictions. The best optimum sample with 1.19 mm/s cutting speed, 36.49 W power and 0.53 mm focal plane position shows excellent physical features after the laser cutting process when 276.9 μm top and 261.5 μm bottom kerf width is cut by laser.
