ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING USING CARBON NANOTUBES AND FORMULATION FOR USE IN SAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240342979 titled 'ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING USING CARBON NANOTUBES AND FORMULATION FOR USE IN SAME

The abstract describes a patent application for an additive manufacturing process using an inkjet printer to form layers of carbon nanotube-containing and non-carbon nanotube-containing dielectric inks on a substrate.

  • The non-carbon nanotube-containing dielectric ink is contained in a vessel and supplied to the printer head for application on the substrate.
  • The carbon nanotube-containing dielectric ink is contained in a separate vessel to prevent mixing with the non-carbon nanotube-containing ink.
  • The two inks are applied to the substrate using different printer heads to form distinct layers.

Potential Applications: - Manufacturing of electronic components - Development of advanced sensors - Creation of high-performance capacitors

Problems Solved: - Precise deposition of different types of dielectric inks - Avoidance of contamination between inks - Enhanced control over layer formation

Benefits: - Improved efficiency in manufacturing processes - Enhanced performance of electronic devices - Cost-effective production of complex structures

Commercial Applications: Title: Advanced Additive Manufacturing Process for Electronic Components This technology can be utilized in the production of high-tech electronic devices, sensors, and capacitors, catering to industries such as electronics, telecommunications, and aerospace.

Questions about the technology: 1. How does the inkjet printer ensure the precise application of different dielectric inks? 2. What are the advantages of using carbon nanotube-containing dielectric ink in electronic components?


Original Abstract Submitted

an additive manufacturing process using an inkjet printer for forming at least one layer of a carbon nanotube-containing dielectric ink and at least one layer of a non-carbon nanotube-containing dielectric ink on a substrate includes the steps of containing the non-carbon nanotube-containing dielectric ink in a first vessel of the inkjet printer; supplying the non-carbon nanotube-containing dielectric ink to a first printer head of the inkjet printer from the first vessel; applying by the first printer head of the inkjet printer the non-carbon nanotube-containing dielectric ink to the substrate to form the at least one layer of the non-carbon nanotube-containing dielectric ink thereon; containing the carbon nanotube-containing dielectric ink in a second vessel of the inkjet printer; supplying the carbon nanotube-containing dielectric ink to a second printer head of the inkjet printer from the second vessel, wherein the first vessel is not in fluid communication with the second vessel to ensure that the non-carbon nanotube-containing dielectric ink contained in the first vessel is not mixed with the carbon nanotube-containing dielectric ink contained in the second vessel prior to the non-carbon nanotube-containing dielectric ink and the carbon nanotube-containing dielectric ink being supplied to the first printer head and the second printer head, respectively; and applying by the second printer head of the inkjet printer the carbon nanotube-containing dielectric ink to the substrate to form the at least one layer of the carbon nanotube-containing dielectric ink thereon.
