This research uses projection micro-stereolithography 3D printing technology and liquid metal filling method to manufacture conformal and 3D metamaterials, improving transmission properties of the metamaterial devices by optimizing filling channel layout and surface post-treatment process.
The manufacturing of 3D and conformal metamaterials remains a major challenge. The projection micro-stereolithography 3D printing technology combined with the liquid metal filling method is employed here to fabricate the metamaterials, which are characterized with embedded features that can effectively protect the metal resonance layer from external influence, and integrated molding of macro-micro structures and function-structure. To demonstrate the robustness and flexibility of the proposed method, three types of metamaterials are fabricated: 3D orthogonal split-ring resonator metamaterial, bionic compound eye conformal metamaterial, and a five-layer broadband conformal metamaterial in the form of hemispherical moth-eye, which are costly, tedious, and time consuming in conventional fabrication methods. And the layout of the filling channel is optimized and the polydimethylsiloxane coating post-treatment process is applied to smooth the surface roughness caused by the staircase effect of 3D printing to improve the transmission performance of metamaterial devices. The transmission properties are measured using terahertz time-domain spectroscopy system and the experimental results show that the method proposed in this paper makes metamaterial manufacture no longer limited to complex structures, which effectively expands the application range of metamaterials.
