AI Article Synopsis
- The text discusses the challenges in controlling particle assembly in evaporative-driven additive manufacturing for printed electronics, particularly due to the need for templates or solutes.
- It introduces diffusiophoresis as a new mechanism that can guide particle motion by creating local concentration gradients, which has not been explored in this field before.
- The findings suggest that diffusiophoresis can significantly enhance control over particle deposition, offering a versatile approach to improve multi-scale additive manufacturing processes.
Article Abstract
The ability to govern particle assembly in an evaporative-driven additive manufacturing (AM) can realize multi-scale features fundamental to creating printed electronics. However, existing techniques remain challenging and often require templates or contaminating solutes. We explore the control of particle deposition in 3D-printed colloids by diffusiophoresis, a previously unexplored mechanism in multi-scale AM. Diffusiophoresis can introduce spontaneous phoretic particle motion by establishing local solute concentration gradients. We show that diffusiophoresis can play a dominant role in complex evaporative-driven particle assembly, enabling a fundamentally new and versatile control of particle deposition in a multi-scale AM process.
