Abstract
3D printing technique can be used to fabricating complex-structure ceramics, but the internal microstructure and properties along vertical and horizontal directions may show certain anisotropy due to the layer-by-layer process. This work aims to evaluate 3D printing anisotropy quantitatively for performance optimization via the stereolithography method. The square-shaped barium titanate (BTO) ceramics with three different solid contents (75 %, 80 % and 85 %) were prepared to characterize the differences between the vertical and horizontal directions of the ceramics, including microstructure, phase structure, electrical properties and mechanical properties. The electrical and mechanical performances of the printed BTO ceramics in vertical direction are superior to that of horizontal direction, and the differences firstly decrease with the solid contents increasing to 80 % and then increase slightly with further solid content increasing. Besides, the printed BTO ceramic with 80 wt% solid content has excellent electrical performance. This study may provide a potential way for achieving high performance and low anisotropy in the vertical and horizontal of printed ceramics.
期刊介绍:
Ceramics International covers the science of advanced ceramic materials. The journal encourages contributions that demonstrate how an understanding of the basic chemical and physical phenomena may direct materials design and stimulate ideas for new or improved processing techniques, in order to obtain materials with desired structural features and properties.
Ceramics International covers oxide and non-oxide ceramics, functional glasses, glass ceramics, amorphous inorganic non-metallic materials (and their combinations with metal and organic materials), in the form of particulates, dense or porous bodies, thin/thick films and laminated, graded and composite structures. Process related topics such as ceramic-ceramic joints or joining ceramics with dissimilar materials, as well as surface finishing and conditioning are also covered. Besides traditional processing techniques, manufacturing routes of interest include innovative procedures benefiting from externally applied stresses, electromagnetic fields and energetic beams, as well as top-down and self-assembly nanotechnology approaches. In addition, the journal welcomes submissions on bio-inspired and bio-enabled materials designs, experimentally validated multi scale modelling and simulation for materials design, and the use of the most advanced chemical and physical characterization techniques of structure, properties and behaviour.
Technologically relevant low-dimensional systems are a particular focus of Ceramics International. These include 0, 1 and 2-D nanomaterials (also covering CNTs, graphene and related materials, and diamond-like carbons), their nanocomposites, as well as nano-hybrids and hierarchical multifunctional nanostructures that might integrate molecular, biological and electronic components.
