Welcome from
the chair

This webinar will present relevant strategies for 3D printing using the extrusion of viscoplastic paste materials, also known as direct ink writing (DIW) or robocasting. To develop DIW, it is essential to design pastes with pseudoplastic rheology and understand how to post-process them so that they can be easily printed and transformed into multi-material structures. Two relevant examples in which carbon nanomaterials are used to prepare DIW electrodes for electrochemical applications will be presented in this webinar.

Networks of solution-processed 2D materials are promising for applications in printed electronics, sensing and energy storage/generation. An important point to elucidate is the relation between the network morphology and the macroscopic electrical properties of the printed films. In this webinar, focused ion beam–scanning electron microscopy nanotomography (FIB-SEM-NT) will be shown as an extremely useful tool to characterize the morphology of printed nanostructured networks and their devices. This technique will be surely used to investigate and optimize other nano-enabled devices for emerging applications.

Dr. Victoria García Rocha

Instituto de Ciencia y Tecnología del Carbono, INCAR-CSIC, Oviedo, Spain;
Dr. Victoria García Rocha is a Tenured Scientist at the Institute of Carbon Science and Technology (INCAR-CSIC), in parallel she is Honorary Research Fellow at Cardiff University (UK) where she spent four years as Lecturer and Researcher in the School of Engineering and she currently supervises 3 PhD students. Dr Rocha has extensive national and international experience and she has worked both in industry and in academia, at different United Kingdom Universities, such as the Universities of Bath and Cardiff and the Imperial College (London). Dr Rocha´s research has been devoted to advance the fields of carbon-based materials, carbon-ceramics composites and ceramic composites, with especial focus on disclosing the relationship between the chemical structure and bulk properties of carbon-based materials, advanced ceramics and composites. She has worked on synthesis, scale up and processing technologies with the aim of finding new composite materials for different applications, primarily energy devices and advanced structural ceramics. She has developed new petroleum binders for magnesia-carbon refractories, sol-gel synthesis, processing and sintering of a wide variety of ceramic nanoparticles and the fabrication of advanced structural composites by spark plasma sintering. Lately, Dr Rocha focuses her materials processing expertise on tailoring carbon and catalyst precursors to enable highly dispersed sustainable electrocatalysts for water splitting or development highly conductive carbon-based electrodes by direct ink writing (3D printing) or freeze casting for redox flow batteries and novel electrolysers.

24^thNanomaterials Webinar

Nanomaterial Ink Printing

In this section, you will find the recordings of this webinar to watch, re-watch and share with your colleagues!
Different strategies for printing and preparing coatings from nanomaterial-based inks are discussed. The nanomaterials involved are of both carbonaceous (e.g., graphene, graphene oxide) and non-carbonaceous (2D transition metal dichalcogenides) nature. The printing methods dealt with are mainly direct ink writing and inkjet printing, although the properties of coatings prepared from 2D material inks by spray coating and Langmuir–Schaefer deposition are also described. The main intended use for the printed architectures discussed are as electrodes for electrochemical energy storage applications.
