Journal ArticleDOI
3D Printing of Free Standing Liquid Metal Microstructures
TL;DR: This paper describes a method to direct-write 3D liquid metal microcomponents at room temperature capable of printing wires, arrays of spheres, arches, and interconnects.
Journal ArticleDOI
Flexible thermoelectric generator using bulk legs and liquid metal interconnects for wearable electronics
Francisco Suarez,Dishit P. Parekh,Collin Ladd,Daryoosh Vashaee,Michael D. Dickey,Mehmet C. Öztürk +5 more
TL;DR: An entirely new approach is presented and the results suggest that this novel approach can finally produce flexible TEGs that have the potential to challenge the rigid T EGs and provide a pathway for the realization of self-powered wearable electronics.
Journal ArticleDOI
3D printing of liquid metals as fugitive inks for fabrication of 3D microfluidic channels
TL;DR: This paper demonstrates a simple method to fabricate 3D microchannels and microvasculature at room temperature by direct-writing liquid metal as a sacrificial template that produces robust monolithic structures without the need for any bonding or assembling techniques.
Journal ArticleDOI
Patterning and Reversible Actuation of Liquid Gallium Alloys by Preventing Adhesion on Rough Surfaces.
Ishan D. Joshipura,Hudson Ayers,Gilbert A. Castillo,Collin Ladd,Christopher E. Tabor,Jacob J. Adams,Michael D. Dickey +6 more
TL;DR: The present work confirms that both hydrophobic and hydrophilic rough surfaces prevent oxide adhesion, and shows it is possible to actuate liquid metals in air without leaving neither metal nor oxide residue on surfaces to enable reconfigurable electronics, microfluidics, and soft electrodes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Vacuum-filling of liquid metals for 3D printed RF antennas
Vivek T. Bharambe,Dishit P. Parekh,Collin Ladd,Khalil Moussa,Michael D. Dickey,Jacob J. Adams +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe a facile method to fabricate complex 3D antennas by vacuum filling gallium-based liquid metals into 3D printed cavities at room temperature.
