Spiral inductors are required to realise high inductance in radio frequency (RF) circuits. Although their fabrication by using micro-electrical-mechanical systems, thin films, actuators, etc., has received considerable research attention, current approaches are both complex and expensive. In this study, we designed and fabricated a thermal spiral inductor by using a three-dimensional (3D) printed shape-memory polymer (SMP). The proposed inductor was inspired by kirigami geometry whereby a two-dimensional (2D) planar geometric shape could be transformed into a 3D spiral one to change the inductance by heating and manually transform. Mechanical and electromagnetic analyses of the spiral inductor design was conducted. Hence, in contrast with the current processes used to manufacture spiral inductors, ours can be realised via a single facile fabrication step.

Currently, cutting-edge, high-frequency current sources are limited by switching devices and wire materials, and the output current cannot take into account the demands of a high peak and low rise time at the same time. Based on the output demand of a current source, a non-inductive coil for providing high-frequency, high current sources with low rise times is designed. The coil is appropriately designed according to the principle of the ampere-turn method, where several turns of wire are utilized to linearly synthesize the current to obtain high-frequency currents with amplitudes up to 30 kA.

Article Synopsis
- A study investigated using poly(glycerol monomethacrylate) (PGMA) as an additive for 3D printable inks with high concentrations of iron oxide nanoparticles (IOPs), optimizing ink formulation to 70% IOPs and 0.25% PGMA at pH 10.
- The created inks were successfully printed into various shapes and structures, with the mechanical properties of the printed items improving through sintering at higher temperatures, leading to better particle size and microstructure.
- Lastly, the performance of printed inductors was evaluated through impedance spectroscopy, revealing a balance between electrical properties and sintering temperature, with optimized devices outperforming previous inductors with iron oxide cores.
