Abstract

The chapter delves into the optimization of Aerosol Jet Printing (AJP) for 3D biocompatible gold nanoparticle-based microstructures. It discusses the advantages of AJP over traditional manufacturing methods and the development of a novel AuNPs-based ink. The study employs a Design of Experiment (DOE) approach to investigate the effects of print parameters such as sheath gas flow, print speed, and platen temperature on the quality of printed microstructures. The results highlight the significant impact of print speed on the uniformity and aspect ratio of the microstructures, while the platen temperature has a negligible effect. The chapter also includes a case study demonstrating the application of optimized 3D AJP for printing a flexible microelectrode array chip. The electrical conductivity and biocompatibility of the printed structures are validated, making this work particularly relevant for advanced manufacturing and biomedical applications.
