Description:

The integration of printed electronics into 3D printed structures would enable significant advances in fields such as structural health monitoring and frequency selective metamaterials. Currently, application is limited as the inherent surface roughness of 3D printed parts limits the successful formation of continuous printed features. The aim of this project is to look into how the 3D printed surface can be optimized to produce a suitable substrate for inkjet printed electronics by control of the printing parameters and, if necessary, post-processing of the surface.
