Abstract: Fibre-reinforced polymer structures are often used when stiff lightweight materials are required, such as in aircraft, vehicles and biomedical implants. Despite their very high stiffness and strength1, such lightweight materials require energy- and labour-intensive fabrication… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41598-020-68288-5
Abstract: Designing 3D printed micro-architectures using electronic materials with well-understood electronic transport within such structures will potentially lead to accessible device fabrication for ‘on-demand’ applications. Here we show controlled nozzle-extrusion based 3D printing of a commercially… read more here.
