Because of the complex nerve anatomy and limited regeneration ability of natural tissue, the current treatment effect for long-distance peripheral nerve regeneration and spinal cord injury (SCI) repair is not satisfactory. As an alternative method, tissue engineering is a promising method to regenerate peripheral nerve and spinal cord, and can provide structures and functions similar to natural tissues through scaffold materials and seed cells. Recently, the rapid development of 3D printing technology enables researchers to create novel 3D constructs with sophisticated structures and diverse functions to achieve high bionics of structures and functions. In this review, we first outlined the anatomy of peripheral nerve and spinal cord, as well as the current treatment strategies for the peripheral nerve injury and SCI in clinical. After that, the design considerations of peripheral nerve and spinal cord tissue engineering were discussed, and various 3D printing technologies applicable to neural tissue engineering were elaborated, including inkjet, extrusion-based, stereolithography, projection-based, and emerging printing technologies. Finally, we focused on the application of 3D printing technology in peripheral nerve regeneration and spinal cord repair, as well as the challenges and prospects in this research field.

Flexible and stretchable transparent electrodes are widely used in smart display, energy, wearable devices and other fields. Due to the limitations of flexibility and stretchability of indium tin oxide electrodes, alternative electrodes have appeared, such as metal films, metal nanowires, and conductive meshes. However, few of the above electrodes can simultaneously have excellent flexibility, stretchability, and optoelectronic properties. Nanofiber (NF), a continuous ultra-long one-dimensional conductive material, is considered to be one of the ideal materials for high-performance transparent electrodes with excellent properties due to its unique structure. This paper summarizes the important research progress of NF flexible transparent electrodes (FTEs) in recent years from the aspects of NF electrode materials, preparation technology and application. First, the unique advantages and limitations of various NF materials are systematically discussed. Then, we summarize the preparation technology of various advanced NF FTEs, and point out the future development trend. We also discuss the application of NFs in solar cells, supercapacitors, electric heating equipments, sensors, etc, and analyze its development potential in flexible electronic equipment, as well as problems that need to be solved. Finally, the challenges and future development trends are proposed in the wide application of NF FTEs in the field of flexible optoelectronics.

Nano-3D printing has obtained widespread attention owing to its capacity to manufacture end-use components with nano-scale features in recent years. Multiphoton lithography (MPL) is one of the most promising 3D nanomanufacturing technologies, which has been widely used in manufacturing micro-optics, photonic crystals, microfluidics, meta-surface, and mechanical metamaterials. Despite of tremendous potential of MPL in laboratorial and industrial applications, simultaneous achievement of high throughput, high accuracy, high design freedom, and a broad range of material structuring capabilities remains a long-pending challenge. To address the issue, we propose an acousto-optic scanning with spatial-switching multispots (AOSS) method. Inertia-free acousto-optic scanning and nonlinear swept techniques have been developed for achieving ultrahigh-speed and aberration-free scanning. Moreover, a spatial optical switch concept has been implemented to significantly boost the lithography throughput while maintaining high resolution and high design freedom. An eight-foci AOSS system has demonstrated a record-high 3D printing rate of 7.6 × 107 voxel s−1, which is nearly one order of magnitude higher than earlier scanning MPL, exhibiting its promise for future scalable 3D nanomanufacturing.

Nanomaterial-based flexible sensors (NMFSs) can be tightly attached to the human skin or integrated with clothing to monitor human physiological information, provide medical data, or explore metaverse spaces. Nanomaterials have been widely incorporated into flexible sensors due to their facile processing, material compatibility, and unique properties. This review highlights the recent advancements in NMFSs involving various nanomaterial frameworks such as nanoparticles, nanowires, and nanofilms. Different triggering interaction interfaces between NMFSs and metaverse/virtual reality (VR) applications, e.g. skin-mechanics-triggered, temperature-triggered, magnetically triggered, and neural-triggered interfaces, are discussed. In the context of interfacing physical and virtual worlds, machine learning (ML) has emerged as a promising tool for processing sensor data for controlling avatars in metaverse/VR worlds, and many ML algorithms have been proposed for virtual interaction technologies. This paper discusses the advantages, disadvantages, and prospects of NMFSs in metaverse/VR applications.

As a new generation of materials/structures, heterostructure is characterized by heterogeneous zones with dramatically different mechanical, physical or chemical properties. This endows heterostructure with unique interfaces, robust architectures, and synergistic effects, making it a promising option as advanced biomaterials for the highly variable anatomy and complex functionalities of individual patients. However, the main challenges of developing heterostructure lie in the control of crystal/phase evolution and the distribution/fraction of components and structures. In recent years, additive manufacturing techniques have attracted increasing attention in developing heterostructure due to the unique flexibility in tailored structures and synthetic multimaterials. This review focuses on the additive manufacturing of heterostructure for biomedical applications. The structural features and functional mechanisms of heterostructure are summarized. The typical material systems of heterostructure, mainly including metals, polymers, ceramics, and their composites, are presented. And the resulting synergistic effects on multiple properties are also systematically discussed in terms of mechanical, biocompatible, biodegradable, antibacterial, biosensitive and magnetostrictive properties. Next, this work outlines the research progress of additive manufacturing employed in developing heterostructure from the aspects of advantages, processes, properties, and applications. This review also highlights the prospective utilization of heterostructure in biomedical fields, with particular attention to bioscaffolds, vasculatures, biosensors and biodetections. Finally, future research directions and breakthroughs of heterostructure are prospected with focus on their more prospective applications in infection prevention and drug delivery.

Complex-shaped optical lenses are of great interest in the areas of laser processing, machine vision, and optical communications. Traditionally, the processing of complex optical lenses is usually achieved by precision machining combined with post-grinding or polishing, which is expensive, labor-intensive and difficult in the processing of ultra-complex optical lenses. Additive manufacturing is an emerging technology that provides significant advantages in producing highly intricate optical devices. However, the layer-by-layer method employed in such manufacturing processes has resulted in low printing speeds, as well as limitations in surface quality. To address these challenges, we apply tomographic volumetric printing (TVP) in this work, which can realize the integrated printing of complex structural models without layering. By coordinating the TVP and the meniscus equilibrium post-curing methods, ultra-fast fabrication of complex-shaped lenses with sub-nanometric roughness has been achieved. A 2.5 mm high, outer diameter 9 mm spherical lens with a roughness value of RMS = 0.3340 nm is printed at a speed of 3.1 × 104 mm3 h−1. As a further demonstration, a complex-shaped fly-eye lens is fabricated without any part assembly. The designed spherical lens is mounted on a smartphone’s camera, and the precise alignments above the circuit board are captured. Upon further optimization, this new technology demonstrates the potential for rapid fabrication of ultra-smooth complex optical devices or systems.

Microwave absorption in radar stealth technology is faced with challenges in terms of its effectiveness in low-frequency regions. Herein, we report a new laser-based method for producing an ultrawideband metamaterial-based microwave absorber with a highly uniform sheet resistance and negative magnetic permeability at resonant frequencies, which results in a wide bandwidth in the L- to S-band. Control of the electrical sheet resistance uniformity has been achieved with less than 5% deviation at 400 Ω sq−1 and 6% deviation at 120 Ω sq−1, resulting in a microwave absorption coefficient between 97.2% and 97.7% within a 1.56–18.3 GHz bandwidth for incident angles of 0°–40°, and there is no need for providing energy or an electrical power source during the operation. Porous N- and S-doped turbostratic graphene 2D patterns with embedded magnetic nanoparticles were produced simultaneously on a polyethylene terephthalate substrate via laser direct writing. The proposed low-frequency, wideband, wide-incident-angle, and high-electromagnetic-absorption microwave absorber can potentially be used in aviation, electromagnetic interference (EMI) suppression, and 5G applications.

Polycrystalline materials are extensively employed in industry. Its surface roughness significantly affects the working performance. Material defects, particularly grain boundaries, have a great impact on the achieved surface roughness of polycrystalline materials. However, it is difficult to establish a purely theoretical model for surface roughness with consideration of the grain boundary effect using conventional analytical methods. In this work, a theoretical and deep learning hybrid model for predicting the surface roughness of diamond-turned polycrystalline materials is proposed. The kinematic–dynamic roughness component in relation to the tool profile duplication effect, work material plastic side flow, relative vibration between the diamond tool and workpiece, etc, is theoretically calculated. The material-defect roughness component is modeled with a cascade forward neural network. In the neural network, the ratio of maximum undeformed chip thickness to cutting edge radius R TS, work material properties (misorientation angle θ g and grain size d g), and spindle rotation speed n s are configured as input variables. The material-defect roughness component is set as the output variable. To validate the developed model, polycrystalline copper with a gradient distribution of grains prepared by friction stir processing is machined with various processing parameters and different diamond tools. Compared with the previously developed model, obvious improvement in the prediction accuracy is observed with this hybrid prediction model. Based on this model, the influences of different factors on the surface roughness of polycrystalline materials are discussed. The influencing mechanism of the misorientation angle and grain size is quantitatively analyzed. Two fracture modes, including transcrystalline and intercrystalline fractures at different R TS values, are observed. Meanwhile, optimal processing parameters are obtained with a simulated annealing algorithm. Cutting experiments are performed with the optimal parameters, and a flat surface finish with Sa 1.314 nm is finally achieved. The developed model and corresponding new findings in this work are beneficial for accurately predicting the surface roughness of polycrystalline materials and understanding the impacting mechanism of material defects in diamond turning.

Copper matrix composites doped with ceramic particles are known to effectively enhance the mechanical properties, thermal expansion behavior and high-temperature stability of copper while maintaining high thermal and electrical conductivity. This greatly expands the applications of copper as a functional material in thermal and conductive components, including electronic packaging materials and heat sinks, brushes, integrated circuit lead frames. So far, endeavors have been focusing on how to choose suitable ceramic components and fully exert strengthening effect of ceramic particles in the copper matrix. This article reviews and analyzes the effects of preparation techniques and the characteristics of ceramic particles, including ceramic particle content, size, morphology and interfacial bonding, on the diathermancy, electrical conductivity and mechanical behavior of copper matrix composites. The corresponding models and influencing mechanisms are also elaborated in depth. This review contributes to a deep understanding of the strengthening mechanisms and microstructural regulation of ceramic particle reinforced copper matrix composites. By more precise design and manipulation of composite microstructure, the comprehensive properties could be further improved to meet the growing demands of copper matrix composites in a wide range of application fields.

By more precise design and manipulation of composite microstructure, the comprehensive properties could be further improved to meet the growing demands of copper matrix composites in a wide range of application fields.","PeriodicalId":52353,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Extreme Manufacturing","volume":"129 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":14.7,"publicationDate":"2023-06-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76639837","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}

Articular cartilage damage caused by trauma or degenerative pathologies such as osteoarthritis can result in significant pain, mobility issues, and disability. Current surgical treatments have a limited capacity for efficacious cartilage repair, and long-term patient outcomes are not satisfying. Three-dimensional bioprinting has been used to fabricate biochemical and biophysical environments that aim to recapitulate the native microenvironment and promote tissue regeneration. However, conventional in vitro bioprinting has limitations due to the challenges associated with the fabrication and implantation of bioprinted constructs and their integration with the native cartilage tissue. In situ bioprinting is a novel strategy to directly deliver bioinks to the desired anatomical site and has the potential to overcome major shortcomings associated with conventional bioprinting. In this review, we focus on the new frontier of robotic-assisted in situ bioprinting surgical systems for cartilage regeneration. We outline existing clinical approaches and the utilization of robotic-assisted surgical systems. Handheld and robotic-assisted in situ bioprinting techniques including minimally invasive and non-invasive approaches are defined and presented. Finally, we discuss the challenges and potential future perspectives of in situ bioprinting for cartilage applications.
