3d shaping of UV curable ceramic feedstock
Mišák, Jiří ; Salamon, David (oponent) ; Graule, Thomas (vedoucí práce)
The aim of this study was the development of printable, UV curable colloidal pastes for 3D robotic deposition of complex ceramic fibre networks. Additionally, shaping techniques of printed structures have been demonstrated. Printable and functional ceramic pastes based on hydroxyapatite have been successfully developed from UV curable compositions. Complex printed ceramic fibre networks and multilayers as well as enhancement of the fibre surface quality have been realised. It has been found that the control of particle-monomer/oligomer-surfactant interactions is essential to achieve printable pastes with adequate rheological properties. Using linear and cross-linking UV curable oligomers as dispersion media, very flexible structures result after UV curing. All printed, cured and additionally shaped structures have been transformed to macroscopic ceramics via thermal debinding and sintering without cracks or delamination between the layers. This has been achieved by using argon atmosphere during curing to prevent oxygen inhibition. The 3D robotic deposition in combination with UV curing is a novel and promising technique to produce complex functional ceramic structures. In this work, the benefits from the combination of 3D robotic deposition and UV solidification have been demonstrated in a new way by using cured and flexible 2 layer structures for folding processes, which lead to 3D structures that are very difficult or impossible to achieve with the employment of just direct 3D robotic deposition. On the basis of this research, versatile theory about preparing ceramic pastes for 3D robotic deposition of complex structures for various applications can be deduced.
