3D Printed Conducting Polymers - Fundamentals, Advances, and Challenges, Ram K. Gupta, Editör, CRC, New York , Florida, ss.212-225, 2024
Advances in implantable, portable, and bio-integrated electronic devices have boosted the demand for stretchable and flexible energy storage devices with great mechanical deformability. The manufacture of totally flexible electronics with acceptable electrochemical performance and mechanical stretchability, on the other hand, remains a substantial technological challenge. This chapter describes an approach for creating additive-free free-standing stretchable electrodes with various negative Poisson’s ratio (NPR) architectures that achieve a sufficient energy density while retaining an excellent capacitance retention of 74.7% after 14,000 cycles. The method opens exciting possibilities for the development of innovative deformable electrodes for integrated wearable energy storage devices in a variety of applications. In the manufacture of composites, 3D printing has numerous advantages, including high precision, cost-effectiveness, and customized geometry. This chapter goes through common 3D printing procedures such as selective laser sintering, fused deposition modeling, stereolithography, inkjet 3D printing, and 3D plotting, as well as the formation strategy and performance of particle-, fiber-, and nanomaterial-reinforced polymer composites. The report also addresses significant constraints to stimulate further 3D printing research. The uses of polymer composites in biomedicine, electronics, and aviation are then studied. Work undertaken in the last five years is particularly highlighted to indicate progress in this area. Finally, we investigate the current technological constraints as well as future opportunities.
