Abstract
The continual demand for modern optoelectronics with a high integration degree and customized functions has increased requirements for nanofabrication methods with high resolution, freeform, and mask-free. Meniscus-on-demand three-dimensional (3D) printing is a high-resolution additive manufacturing technique that exploits the ink meniscus formed on a printer nozzle and is suitable for the fabrication of micro/nanoscale 3D architectures. This method can be used for solution-processed 3D patterning of materials at a resolution of up to 100 nm, which provides an excellent platform for fundamental scientific studies and various practical applications. This review presents recent advances in meniscus-on-demand 3D printing, together with historical perspectives and theoretical background on meniscus formation and stability. Moreover, this review highlights the capabilities of meniscus-on-demand 3D printing in terms of printable materials and potential areas of application, such as electronics and photonics.
期刊介绍:
The International Journal of Extreme Manufacturing (IJEM) focuses on publishing original articles and reviews related to the science and technology of manufacturing functional devices and systems with extreme dimensions and/or extreme functionalities. The journal covers a wide range of topics, from fundamental science to cutting-edge technologies that push the boundaries of currently known theories, methods, scales, environments, and performance. Extreme manufacturing encompasses various aspects such as manufacturing with extremely high energy density, ultrahigh precision, extremely small spatial and temporal scales, extremely intensive fields, and giant systems with extreme complexity and several factors. It encompasses multiple disciplines, including machinery, materials, optics, physics, chemistry, mechanics, and mathematics. The journal is interested in theories, processes, metrology, characterization, equipment, conditions, and system integration in extreme manufacturing. Additionally, it covers materials, structures, and devices with extreme functionalities.
