Brittany Newell and Jose M. Garcia-Bravo, associate profes- sors in the School of Engineer- ing Technology in the Purdue Polytechnic Institute, and Ty- ler Tallman, assistant profes- sor in the School of Aeronau- tics and Astronautics in the College of Engineering, have created a novel wet-mixing method to introduce electri- cally conductive particles into 3D printing filament polymers. Cole Maynard, who earned his PhD in August, and Julio Her- nandez, a doctoral candidate, were pivotal to the research. Traditional 3D printing makes prototypes of parts with no sensing capabilities. Sen- sors must be added to the part after the fact if assessments are to be made. The process can be thought of as adding sprinkles to cookies after they are baked: The sprinkles ex- ist only on the outside of the cookie. Traditional foil-type strain gauges, which are the most common strain sensors, are adhered to the surface of a printed part by an epoxy resin, Newell said. However, in this work the sprinkles are added throughout the cookie dough before baking. This means that sensing capabilities are an in- herent part of the printed com- ponent and allow for sensing inside of the component. Un- like sprinkles, these sensors are too small to be seen with- out a microscope. Their tiny scale allows the printed part to maintain strength it would have other wise sacrificed due to large sensors built in, while still achieving fully integrated sensing capabilities. "Generally, we apply that strain gauge across the full part or apply it to the top and bottom of the part to get in- formation on overall strain across the part," Newell said. "However, the middle and in- ternal structures are never monitored since the gauges are glued to the surface." The Purdue wet-mixing method ensures an even dis- tribution of particles through- out the filament. With the sen- sors dispersed evenly in the filament, manufacturers and researchers can design parts with a wider variety of shapes. "The results from this work enable users to create complex 3D structures with embedded strain gauges, rapidly moving traditional prototype pieces into fully functional and struc- turally assessable parts," New- ell said. "A limitation of appli- cation of 3D printed parts has been in their durability. With this development, we can con- tinually monitor the structural health of the part with the sen- sor embedded in the print." Tallman said, "This method produces materials that are conductive with ver y good uni- formity, which greatly expands the electrical applications of 3D printed parts and sensor designs." Garcia-Bravo said, "The ma- terials are also tunable, mean- ing we can adjust the electrical and mechanical properties to optimize the sensor or part for a desired application." The novel wet-mixing pro- cess is not limited only to sen- sor conductivity. "This work can be further expanded to add other par- ticle types using the same wet-mixing method," Newell said. "This could include the addition of magnetic particles for electromagnetic fields, flu- orescent particles and other functionalities." The research was published in the July 2022 edition of the peer-reviewed journal Ad- vanced Engineering Materials and in the 2020, 2021 and 2022 editions of the journal Amer- ican Society of Mechanical Engineers Smart Materials, Adaptive Structures and Intel- ligent Systems. The research- ers have received funding from the Naval Engineering Educa- tion Consortium, or NEEC, a program from the NAVSEA warfare centers aiming to cul- tivate partnerships between the Navy and higher education institutions. The researchers disclosed the innovation to the Purdue Research Foundation Office of Technology Commercial- ization, which has applied for a patent on the intellectual property. Industr y partners seeking to further develop this innovation should contact Dhananjay Sewak, dsewak@ prf.org, about reference num- ber 69740. Newell said industr y part- ners are being sought to cre- ate a process to scale up and further test the method. "We need to increase the batch size to an industrial scale and integrate the customizable aspect of this work with indus- trial 3D printers," Newell said. "The range of items that can be produced with these fila- ments is broad, and testing should be done to expand to new prototypes." Purdue university researchers have developed a novel wet-mixing method to add sensor particles to 3d printer filaments, which will allow manufacturers to create functional printed parts.
