Inkjet Printing of Graphene-Reinforced Zirconia Composite: Microstructures and Properties

Abstract Details

2023, Master of Science, Miami University, Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering.
Owing to their superior properties like excellent mechanical strength, thermal and oxidation resistance, chemical stability, biocompatibility, chemical resistance, etc. zirconia-based ceramics find their applications in industries, including aerospace, automotive, biomedical, energy, etc. But manufacturing parts of zirconia-based ceramic by traditional manufacturing processes like injection molding, hot pressing, cold pressing, etc., provides difficulties in fabricating high-quality parts with complex geometrical shapes. Additive manufacturing (AM) can be a solution to this problem. Various AM techniques, including binder jetting, selective laser sintering, material extrusion, etc., have been utilized to manufacture complex shapes using zirconia-based ceramic. It remains a challenge to fabricate good-quality parts using AM techniques. From the published report, it is also evident that zirconia-based ceramics show inferior mechanical properties. In this research, inkjet-based AM, which is a material extrusion-based AM technique, is used to fabricate high-quality zirconia-based ceramic. Moreover, zirconia-based ceramic is reinforced with graphene to improve mechanical, thermal, and microstructural properties, and the effects of graphene on these properties as well as on cell adhesion have been analyzed.
