Optical fibers are typically used in telecommunications services for data transmission, where the use of fiber tags is essential to distinguish between the different transmission fibers or channels and thus ensure the working functionality of the communication system. Traditional physical entity marking methods for fiber labeling are bulky, easily confused, and, most importantly, the label information can be accessed easily by all potential users. This work proposes an encrypted optical fiber tag based on an encoded fiber Bragg grating (FBG) array that is fabricated using a point-by-point femtosecond laser pulse chain inscription method. Gratings with different resonant wavelengths and reflectivities are realized by adjusting the grating period and the refractive index modulations. It is demonstrated that a binary data sequence carried by a fiber tag can be inscribed into the fiber core in the form of an FBG array, and the tag data can be encrypted through appropriate design of the spatial distributions of the FBGs with various reflection wavelengths and reflectivities. The proposed fiber tag technology can be used for applications in port identification, encrypted data storage, and transmission in fiber networks.

In order to mimic the natural heterogeneity of native tissue and provide a better microenvironment for cell culturing, multi-material bioprinting has become a common solution to construct tissue models in vitro. With the embedded printing method, complex 3D structure can be printed using soft biomaterials with reasonable shape fidelity. However, the current sequential multi-material embedded printing method faces a major challenge, which is the inevitable trade-off between the printed structural integrity and printing precision. Here, we propose a simultaneous multi-material embedded printing method. With this method, we can easily print firmly attached and high-precision multilayer structures. With multiple individually controlled nozzles, different biomaterials can be precisely deposited into a single crevasse, minimizing uncontrolled squeezing and guarantees no contamination of embedding medium within the structure. We analyse the dynamics of the extruded bioink in the embedding medium both analytically and experimentally, and quantitatively evaluate the effects of printing parameters including printing speed and rheology of embedding medium, on the 3D morphology of the printed filament. We demonstrate the printing of double-layer thin-walled structures, each layer less than 200 μm, as well as intestine and liver models with 5% gelatin methacryloyl that are crosslinked and extracted from the embedding medium without significant impairment or delamination. The peeling test further proves that the proposed method offers better structural integrity than conventional sequential printing methods. The proposed simultaneous multi-material embedded printing method can serve as a powerful tool to support the complex heterogeneous structure fabrication and open unique prospects for personalized medicine.

Achieving well-controlled directional steering of liquids is of great significance for both fundamental study and practical applications, such as microfluidics, biomedicine, and heat management. Recent advances allow liquids with different surface tensions to select their spreading directions on a same surface composed of macro ratchets with dual reentrant curvatures. Nevertheless, such intriguing directional steering function relies on 3D printed sophisticated structures and additional polishing process to eliminate the inevitable microgrooves-like surface deficiency generated from printing process, which increases the manufacturing complexity and severally hinders practical applications. Herein, we developed a simplified dual-scale structure that enables directional liquid steering via a straightforward 3D printing process without the need of any physical and chemical post-treatment. The dual-scale structure consists of macroscale tilt ratchet equipped with a reentrant tip and microscale grooves that decorated on the whole surface along a specific orientation. Distinct from conventional design requiring the elimination of microgrooves-like surface deficiency, we demonstrated that the microgrooves of dual-scale structure play a key role in delaying or promoting the local flow of liquids, tuning of which could even enable liquids select different spreading pathways. This study provides a new insight for developing surfaces with tunable multi-scale structures, and also advances our fundamental understanding of the interaction between liquid spreading dynamics and surface topography.

Direct ink writing (DIW) holds enormous potential in fabricating multiscale and multi-functional architectures by virtue of its wide range of printable materials, simple operation, and ease of rapid prototyping. Although it is well known that ink rheology and processing parameters have a direct impact on the resolution and shape of the printed objects, the underlying mechanisms of these key factors on the printability and quality of DIW technique remain poorly understood. To tackle this issue, we systematically analyzed the printability and quality through extrusion mechanism modeling and experimental validating. Hybrid non-Newtonian fluid inks were first prepared, and their rheological properties were measured. Then, finite element analysis of the whole DIW process was conducted to reveal the flow dynamics of these inks. The obtained optimal process parameters (ink rheology, applied pressure, printing speed, etc) were also validated by experiments where high-resolution (<100 μm) patterns were fabricated rapidly (>70 mm s−1). Finally, as a process research demonstration, we printed a series of microstructures and circuit systems with hybrid inks and silver inks, showing the suitability of the printable process parameters. This study provides a strong quantitative illustration of the use of DIW for the high-speed preparation of high-resolution, high-precision samples.
直接墨水书写(DIW)凭借其广泛的可打印材料,简单的操作和易于快速成型,在制造多尺度和多功能架构方面具有巨大的潜力。虽然众所周知,油墨流变学和工艺参数对打印对象的分辨率和形状有直接影响,但这些关键因素对DIW技术的可打印性和质量的潜在机制仍然知之甚少。为了解决这一问题,我们通过挤压机理建模和实验验证,系统地分析了可印刷性和质量。首次制备了非牛顿流体杂化油墨,并对其流变性能进行了测试。然后对整个DIW过程进行了有限元分析,揭示了这些油墨的流动动力学。获得的最佳工艺参数(油墨流变性、施加压力、印刷速度等)也通过高分辨率(70 mm s−1)的实验进行了验证。最后,作为工艺研究演示,我们用混合油墨和银油墨印刷了一系列微结构和电路系统,展示了可印刷工艺参数的适用性。本研究为DIW用于高分辨率、高精度样品的高速制备提供了强有力的定量说明。

The exceptional physical properties and unique layered structure of two-dimensional (2D) materials have made this class of materials great candidates for applications in electronics, energy conversion/storage devices, nanocomposites, and multifunctional coatings, among others. At the center of this application space, mechanical properties play a vital role in materials design, manufacturing, integration and performance. The emergence of 2D materials has also sparked broad scientific inquiry, with new understanding of mechanical interactions between 2D structures and interfaces being of great interest to the community. Building on the dramatic expansion of recent research activities, here we review significant advances in the understanding of the elastic properties, in-plane failures, fatigue performance, interfacial shear/friction, and adhesion behavior of 2D materials. In this article, special emphasis is placed on some new 2D materials, novel characterization techniques and computational methods, as well as insights into deformation and failure mechanisms. A deep understanding of the intrinsic and extrinsic factors that govern 2D material mechanics is further provided, in the hopes that the community may draw design strategies for structural and interfacial engineering of 2D material systems. We end this review article with a discussion of our perspective on the state of the field and outlook on areas for future research directions.

The development of projection-based stereolithography additive manufacturing techniques and magnetic photosensitive resins has provided a powerful approach to fabricate miniaturized magnetic functional devices with complex three-dimensional spatial structures. However, the present magnetic photosensitive resins face great challenges in the trade-off between high ferromagnetism and excellent printing quality. To address these challenges, we develop a novel NdFeB-Fe3O4 magnetic photosensitive resin comprising 20 wt.% solid loading of magnetic particles, which can be used to fabricate high-precision and ferromagnetic functional devices via micro-continuous liquid interface production process. This resin combining ferromagnetic NdFeB microparticles and strongly absorbing Fe3O4 nanoparticles is able to provide ferromagnetic capabilities and excellent printing quality simultaneously compared to both existing soft and hard magnetic photosensitive resins. The established penetration depth model reveals the effect of particle size, solid loading, and absorbance on the curing characteristics of magnetic photosensitive resin. A high-precision forming and ferromagnetic capability of the NdFeB-Fe3O4 magnetic photosensitive resin are comprehensively demonstrated. It is found that the photosensitive resin (NdFeB:Fe3O4 = 1:1) can print samples with sub-40 μm fine features, reduced by 87% compared to existing hard magnetic photosensitive resin, and exhibits significantly enhanced coercivity and remanence in comparison with existing soft magnetic photosensitive resins, showing by an increase of 24 times and 6 times, respectively. The reported NdFeB-Fe3O4 magnetic photosensitive resin is anticipated to provide a new functional material for the design and manufacture of next-generation micro-robotics, electromagnetic sensor, and magneto-thermal devices.

Parts with high-quality freeform surfaces have been widely used in industries, which require strict quality control during the manufacturing process. Among all the industrial inspection methods, contact measurement with coordinate measuring machines or computer numerical control machine tool is a fundamental technique due to its high accuracy, robustness, and universality. In this paper, the existing research in the contact measurement field is systematically reviewed. First, different configurations of the measuring machines are introduced in detail, which may have influence on the corresponding sampling and inspection path generation criteria. Then, the entire inspection pipeline is divided into two stages, namely the pre-inspection and post-inspection stages. The typical methods of each sub-stage are systematically overviewed and classified, including sampling, accessibility analysis, inspection path generation, probe tip radius compensation, surface reconstruction, and uncertainty analysis. Apart from those classical research, the applications of the emerging deep learning technique in some specific tasks of measurement are introduced. Furthermore, some potential and promising trends are provided for future investigation.

For the practical use of femtosecond laser ablation, inputs of higher laser intensity are preferred to attain high-throughput material removal. However, the use of higher laser intensities for increasing ablation rates can have detrimental effects on ablation quality due to excess heat generation and air ionization. This paper employs ablation using BiBurst femtosecond laser pulses, which consist of multiple bursts (2 and 5 bursts) at a repetition rate of 64 MHz, each containing multiple intra-pulses (2–20 pulses) at an ultrafast repetition rate of 4.88 GHz, to overcome these conflicting conditions. Ablation of silicon substrates using the BiBurst mode with 5 burst pulses and 20 intra-pulses successfully prevents air breakdown at packet energies higher than the pulse energy inducing the air ionization by the conventional femtosecond laser pulse irradiation (single-pulse mode). As a result, ablation speed can be enhanced by a factor of 23 without deteriorating the ablation quality compared to that by the single-pulse mode ablation under the conditions where the air ionization is avoided.

Van der Waals heterostructures (vdWHs) are showing considerable potential in both fundamental exploration and practical applications. Built upon the synthetic successes of (two-dimensional) 2D materials, several synthetic strategies of vdWHs have been developed, allowing the convenient fabrication of diverse vdWHs with decent controllability, quality, and scalability. This review first summarizes the current state of the art in synthetic strategies of vdWHs, including physical combination, deposition, solvothermal synthesis, and synchronous evolution. Then three major applications and their representative vdWH devices have been reviewed, including electronics (tunneling field effect transistors and 2D contact), optoelectronics (photodetector), and energy conversion (electrocatalysts and metal ion batteries), to unveil the potentials of vdWHs in practical applications and provide the general design principles of functional vdWHs for different applications. Besides, moiré superlattices based on vdWHs are discussed to showcase the importance of vdWHs as a platform for novel condensed matter physics. Finally, the crucial challenges towards ideal vdWHs with high performance are discussed, and the outlook for future development is presented. By the systematical integration of synthetic strategies and applications, we hope this review can further light up the rational designs of vdWHs for emerging applications.

NiTi alloys have drawn significant attentions in biomedical and aerospace fields due to their unique shape memory effect (SME), superelasticity (SE), damping characteristics, high corrosion resistance, and good biocompatibility. Because of the unsatisfying processabilities and manufacturing requirements of complex NiTi components, additive manufacturing technology, especially laser powder bed fusion (LPBF), is appropriate for fabricating NiTi products. This paper comprehensively summarizes recent research on the NiTi alloys fabricated by LPBF, including printability, microstructural characteristics, phase transformation behaviors, lattice structures, and applications. Process parameters and microstructural features mainly influence the printability of LPBF-processed NiTi alloys. The phase transformation behaviors between austenite and martensite phases, phase transformation temperatures, and an overview of the influencing factors are summarized in this paper. This paper provides a comprehensive review of the mechanical properties with unique strain-stress responses, which comprise tensile mechanical properties, thermomechanical properties (e.g. critical stress to induce martensitic transformation, thermo-recoverable strain, and SE strain), damping properties and hardness. Moreover, several common structures (e.g. a negative Poisson’s ratio structure and a diamond-like structure) are considered, and the corresponding studies are summarized. It illustrates the various fields of application, including biological scaffolds, shock absorbers, and driving devices. In the end, the paper concludes with the main achievements from the recent studies and puts forward the limitations and development tendencies in the future.
