Journal ArticleDOI
Nanosecond laser textured superhydrophobic metallic surfaces and their chemical sensing applications
Duong V. Ta,Andrew Dunn,Thomas J. Wasley,Robert W. Kay,Jonathan Stringer,Patrick Smith,Colm Connaughton,Jonathan D. Shephard +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors demonstrate superhydrophobic behavior on nanosecond laser patterned copper and brass surfaces and demonstrate that the superhydrobobic surfaces have the self-cleaning ability and have potential for chemical sensing applications.
Journal ArticleDOI
A review of aerosol jet printing—a non-traditional hybrid process for micro-manufacturing
TL;DR: An overview of the underlying principles of AJP are summarized, applications of the technology are reviewed, and where gains may be realised are hypothesised through this assistive manufacturing process.
Journal ArticleDOI
Laser textured superhydrophobic surfaces and their applications for homogeneous spot deposition
Van Duong Ta,Andrew Dunn,Thomas J. Wasley,Ji Li,Robert W. Kay,Jonathan Stringer,Patrick Smith,Emre Esenturk,Colm Connaughton,Jonathan D. Shephard +9 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the laser surface modification of 304S15 stainless steel to develop superhydrophobic properties and the subsequent application for homogeneous spot deposition was reported, with steady contact angle of ∼154° and contact angle hysteresis of ∼4°.
Journal ArticleDOI
Laser textured surface gradients
Van Duong Ta,Andrew Dunn,Thomas J. Wasley,Ji Li,Robert W. Kay,Jonathan Stringer,Patrick Smith,Emre Esenturk,Colm Connaughton,Jonathan D. Shephard +9 more
TL;DR: In this article, surface roughness gradients on brass sheets are obtained directly by nanosecond laser texturing and their wettability decreases with time (up to 20 days) achieving both spatial and temporal Wettability gradients.
Journal ArticleDOI
Multifunctional metal matrix composites with embedded printed electrical materials fabricated by Ultrasonic Additive Manufacturing
Jinshuo Li,Jinshuo Li,Thomas Monaghan,TT Nguyen,Robert W. Kay,Ross J. Friel,Russell A. Harris +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a surface flattening process was developed to eliminate the risk of short circuiting between the metal matrices and printed conductors, and simultaneously reduce the total thickness of the printed circuitry.
