3D‐Printing of Highly Piezoelectric Barium Titanate Polymer Nanocomposites with Surface‐Modified Nanoparticles at Low Loadings

Mirko Maturi, Lorenzo Migliorini, Sara Moon Villa, Tommaso Santaniello et autres

Abstract This work describes the development and characterization of tetragonal barium titanate nanoparticles (BTO NPs) and their surface functionalization with dopamine dodecylamine (DDA), a lipophilic organic ligand. The so‐obtained lipophilic NPs (BTO‐DDA) are then formulated at low loadings (< 5 wt.%) into …

Printing Electrically Conductive Patterns on Polymeric and 3D-Printed Systems

Lorenzo Migliorini, Tommaso Santaniello, Paolo Milani

Supersonic cluster beam deposition (SCBD) is an additive manufacturing technique that allows the printing of electrically conductive patterns on different kinds of polymeric materials and systems. The high collimation of the supersonic beam makes this technique suitable for micro-patterning and the deposited …

Super-Stretchable Resistive Strain Sensor Based on Ecoflex–Gold Nanocomposites

Lorenzo Migliorini, Tommaso Santaniello, Andrea Falqui, Paolo Milani

Superstretchable resistive strain sensors can reversibly undergo severe deformations in response to different mechanical stimuli, leading to a variation in their ohmic resistance. They are finding an increasing number of applications in wearable electronics, biomedical devices, and soft robotics. The development of …

Cluster-Assembled Zirconia Substrates Accelerate the Osteogenic Differentiation of Bone Marrow Mesenchymal Stem Cells

Sara Castiglioni, Laura Locatelli, Alessandra Cazzaniga, Francesca Maria Orecchio et autres

Due to their high mechanical strength and good biocompatibility, nanostructured zirconia surfaces (ns-ZrOx) are widely used for bio-applications. Through supersonic cluster beam deposition, we produced ZrOx films with controllable roughness at the nanoscale, mimicking the morphological and topographical properties of the extracellular …
