Summary on Grant Application Form |
|
We seek funding to explore a novel deposition technique (electrostatic atomization printing) we have very recently pioneered. Electrostatic atomization of concentrated alumina inks, containing different volume fractions of alumina powder, will be studied over a wide range of applied voltages and flow rates to produce the finest possible alumina droplets/relics and to construct maps elucidating the applied voltage-flow rate-filler vol. fraction ternary. Drop registration accuracy of electrostatic atomization printing will also be investigated.Using a printable gold ink, we shall explore the feasibility of producing single and multiple conducting tracks which are much finer than those produced in our ink-jet printing work. We shall also change the electrode configuration of electrostatic atomization in order to spray polyeurethane templates with concentrated alumina inks in order to investigate a new procedure for the preparation of open-cell ceramic foams with solid struts and a very high volume fraction of porosity.
