Diverse natural organisms possess stimulus-responsive structures to adapt to the surrounding environment. Inspired by nature, researchers have developed various smart stimulus-responsive structures with adjustable properties and functions to address the demands of ever-changing application environments that are becoming more intricate. Among many fabrication methods for stimulus-responsive structures, femtosecond laser direct writing (FsLDW) has received increasing attention because of its high precision, simplicity, true three-dimensional machining ability, and wide applicability to almost all materials. This paper systematically outlines state-of-the-art research on stimulus-responsive structures prepared by FsLDW. Based on the introduction of femtosecond laser-matter interaction and mainstream FsLDW-based manufacturing strategies, different stimulating factors that can trigger structural responses of prepared intelligent structures, such as magnetic field, light, temperature, pH, and humidity, are emphatically summarized. Various applications of functional structures with stimuli-responsive dynamic behaviors fabricated by FsLDW, as well as the present obstacles and forthcoming development opportunities, are discussed.

Porous and functionally graded materials have seen extensive applications in modern biomedical devices-allowing for improved site-specific performance; their appreciable mechanical, corrosive, and biocompatible properties are highly sought after for lightweight and high-strength load-bearing orthopedic and dental implants. Examples of such porous materials are metals, ceramics, and polymers. Although, easy to manufacture and lightweight, porous polymers do not inherently exhibit the required mechanical strength for hard tissue repair or replacement. Alternatively, porous ceramics are brittle and do not possess the required fatigue resistance. On the other hand, porous biocompatible metals have shown tailorable strength, fatigue resistance, and toughness. Thereby, a significant interest in investigating the manufacturing challenges of porous metals has taken place in recent years. Past research has shown that once the advantages of porous metallic structures in the orthopedic implant industry have been realized, their biological and biomechanical compatibility-with the host bone-has been followed up with extensive methodical research. Various manufacturing methods for porous or functionally graded metals are discussed and compared in this review, specifically, how the manufacturing process influences microstructure, graded composition, porosity, biocompatibility, and mechanical properties. Most of the studies discussed in this review are related to porous structures for bone implant applications; however, the understanding of these investigations may also be extended to other devices beyond the biomedical field.

Grinding is a crucial process in machining workpieces because it plays a vital role in achieving the desired precision and surface quality. However, a significant technical challenge in grinding is the potential increase in temperature due to high specific energy, which can lead to surface thermal damage. Therefore, ensuring control over the surface integrity of workpieces during grinding becomes a critical concern. This necessitates the development of temperature field models that consider various parameters, such as workpiece materials, grinding wheels, grinding parameters, cooling methods, and media, to guide industrial production. This study thoroughly analyzes and summarizes grinding temperature field models. First, the theory of the grinding temperature field is investigated, classifying it into traditional models based on a continuous belt heat source and those based on a discrete heat source, depending on whether the heat source is uniform and continuous. Through this examination, a more accurate grinding temperature model that closely aligns with practical grinding conditions is derived. Subsequently, various grinding thermal models are summarized, including models for the heat source distribution, energy distribution proportional coefficient, and convective heat transfer coefficient. Through comprehensive research, the most widely recognized, utilized, and accurate model for each category is identified. The application of these grinding thermal models is reviewed, shedding light on the governing laws that dictate the influence of the heat source distribution, heat distribution, and convective heat transfer in the grinding arc zone on the grinding temperature field. Finally, considering the current issues in the field of grinding temperature, potential future research directions are proposed. The aim of this study is to provide theoretical guidance and technical support for predicting workpiece temperature and improving surface integrity.

Ice and frost buildup continuously pose significant challenges to multiple fields. As a promising de-icing/defrosting alternative, designing photothermal coatings that leverage on the abundant sunlight source on the earth to facilitate ice/frost melting has attracted tremendous attention recently. However, previous designs suffered from either localized surface heating owing to the limited thermal conductivity or unsatisfied meltwater removal rate due to strong water/substrate interaction. Herein, we developed a facile approach to fabricate surfaces that combine photothermal, heat-conducting, and superhydrophobic properties into one to achieve efficient de-icing and defrosting. Featuring copper nanowire assemblies, such surfaces were fabricated via the simple template-assisted electrodeposition method, allowing us to tune the nanowire assembly geometry by adjusting the template dimensions and electrodeposition time. The highly ordered copper nanowire assemblies facilitated efficient sunlight absorption and lateral heat spreading, resulting in a fast overall temperature rise to enable the thawing of ice and frost. Further promoted by the excellent water repellency of the surface, the thawed ice and frost could be spontaneously and promptly removed. In this way, the all-in-one design enabled highly enhanced de-icing and defrosting performance compared to other nanostructured surfaces merely with superhydrophobicity, photothermal effect, or the combination of both. In particular, the defrosting efficiency could approach ∼100%, which was the highest compared to previous studies. Overall, our approach demonstrates a promising path toward designing highly effective artificial deicing/defrosting surfaces.

Lead halide perovskites have attracted considerable attention as potential candidates for high-performance nano/microlasers, owing to their outstanding optical properties. However, the further development of perovskite microlaser arrays (especially based on polycrystalline thin films) produced by the conventional processing techniques is hindered by the chemical instability and surface roughness of the perovskite structures. Herein, we demonstrate a laser patterning of large-scale, highly crystalline perovskite single-crystal films to fabricate reproducible perovskite single-crystal-based microlaser arrays. Perovskite thin films were directly ablated by femtosecond-laser in multiple low-power cycles at a minimum machining line width of approximately 300 nm to realize high-precision, chemically clean, and repeatable fabrication of microdisk arrays. The surface impurities generated during the process can be washed away to avoid external optical loss due to the robustness of the single-crystal film. Moreover, the high-quality, large-sized perovskite single-crystal films can significantly improve the quality of microcavities, thereby realizing a perovskite microdisk laser with narrow linewidth (0.09 nm) and low threshold (5.1 μJ/cm2). Benefiting from the novel laser patterning method and the large-sized perovskite single-crystal films, a high power and high color purity laser display with single-mode microlasers as pixels was successfully fabricated. Thus, this study may offer a potential platform for mass-scale and reproducible fabrication of microlaser arrays, and further facilitate the development of highly integrated applications based on perovskite materials.

Magnesium and its alloys, as a promising class of materials, is popular in lightweight application and biomedical implants due to their low density and good biocompatibility. Additive manufacturing (AM) of Mg and its alloys is of growing interest in academia and industry. The domain-by-domain localized forming characteristics of AM leads to unique microstructures and performances of AM-process Mg and its alloys, which are different from those of traditionally manufactured counterparts. However, the intrinsic mechanisms still remain unclear and need to be in-depth explored. Therefore, this work aims to discuss and analyze the possible underlying mechanisms regarding defect appearance and elimination, microstructure formation and evolution, and performance improvement, based on presenting a comprehensive and systematic review on the relationship between process parameters, forming quality, microstructure characteristics and resultant performances. Lastly, some key perspectives requiring focus for further progression are highlighted to promote development of AM-processed Mg and its alloys and accelerate their industrialization.

Three-dimensional (3D) printing, an additive manufacturing technique, is widely employed for the fabrication of various electrochemical energy storage devices (EESDs), such as batteries and supercapacitors, ranging from nanoscale to macroscale. This technique offers excellent manufacturing flexibility, geometric designability, cost-effectiveness, and eco-friendliness. Recent studies have focused on the utilization of 3D-printed critical materials for EESDs, which have demonstrated remarkable electrochemical performances, including high energy densities and rate capabilities, attributed to improved ion/electron transport abilities and fast kinetics. However, there is a lack of comprehensive reviews summarizing and discussing the recent advancements in the structural design and application of 3D-printed critical materials for EESDs, particularly rechargeable batteries. In this review, we primarily concentrate on the current progress in 3D printing (3DP) critical materials for emerging batteries. We commence by outlining the key characteristics of major 3DP methods employed for fabricating EESDs, encompassing design principles, materials selection, and optimization strategies. Subsequently, we summarize the recent advancements in 3D-printed critical materials (anode, cathode, electrolyte, separator, and current collector) for secondary batteries, including conventional Li-ion (LIBs), Na-ion (SIBs), K-ion (KIBs) batteries, as well as Li/Na/K/Zn metal batteries, Zn-air batteries, and Ni–Fe batteries. Within these sections, we discuss the 3DP precursor, designprinciples of 3D structures, and working mechanisms of the electrodes. Finally, we address the major challenges and potential applications in the development of 3D-printed critical materials for rechargeable batteries.

Lung diseases associated with alveoli, such as acute respiratory distress syndrome, have posed a long-term threat to human health. However, an in vitro model capable of simulating different deformations of the alveoli and a suitable material for mimicking basement membrane are currently lacking. Here, we present an innovative biomimetic controllable strain membrane (BCSM) at an air–liquid interface (ALI) to reconstruct alveolar respiration. The BCSM consists of a high-precision three-dimensional printing melt-electrowritten polycaprolactone (PCL) mesh, coated with a hydrogel substrate—to simulate the important functions (such as stiffness, porosity, wettability, and ALI) of alveolar microenvironments, and seeded pulmonary epithelial cells and vascular endothelial cells on either side, respectively. Inspired by papercutting, the BCSM was fabricated in the plane while it operated in three dimensions. A series of the topological structure of the BCSM was designed to control various local-area strain, mimicking alveolar varied deformation. Lopinavir/ritonavir could reduce Lamin A expression under over-stretch condition, which might be effective in preventing ventilator-induced lung injury. The biomimetic lung-unit model with BCSM has broader application prospects in alveoli-related research in the future, such as in drug toxicology and metabolism.

The biomimetic lung-unit model with BCSM has broader application prospects in alveoli-related research in the future, such as in drug toxicology and metabolism.","PeriodicalId":52353,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Extreme Manufacturing","volume":"2023 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":14.7,"publicationDate":"2023-08-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86862791","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Neuromorphic computing is a brain-inspired computing paradigm that aims to construct efficient, low-power, and adaptive computing systems by emulating the information processing mechanisms of biological neural systems. At the core of neuromorphic computing are neuromorphic devices that mimic the functions and dynamics of neurons and synapses, enabling the hardware implementation of artificial neural networks. Various types of neuromorphic devices have been proposed based on different physical mechanisms such as resistive switching devices and electric-double-layer transistors. These devices have demonstrated a range of neuromorphic functions such as multistate storage, spike-timing-dependent plasticity, dynamic filtering, etc. To achieve high performance neuromorphic computing systems, it is essential to fabricate neuromorphic devices compatible with the complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) manufacturing process. This improves the device’s reliability and stability and is favorable for achieving neuromorphic chips with higher integration density and low power consumption. This review summarizes CMOS-compatible neuromorphic devices and discusses their emulation of synaptic and neuronal functions as well as their applications in neuromorphic perception and computing. We highlight challenges and opportunities for further development of CMOS-compatible neuromorphic devices and systems.
