In this study, hierarchical porous ceramic lattices were fabricated using direct ink writing (DIW) technique and emulsion processing methods, and it was discovered that different gelling additives led to distinctive microstructures. The 3D printed hierarchical porous ceramics exhibited high porosity and compressive strength, making them suitable for various applications.
ABSTRACT: Hierarchical porous materials are ubiquitous in nature and have inspired the fabrication of cellular structures for a multitude of applications. As an extrusion-based 3D printing technique, direct ink writing (DIW) allows for customizable design and accurate control of printed structures. Recently, its combination with colloidal processing methods used for bulk porous ceramics, such as emulsion templating, has further extended its capability of fabricating porous ceramics across multiple length scales. In light of the recent development, the ink formulation for emulsion-based DIW can be further explored, and there is still a need for a better understanding of the structure-property relationship. Herein, we introduce two types of gelling additives, i.e., poly(ethylenimine) (PEI) and Pluronic F127, respectively, into particle-stabilized emulsions and fabricate hierarchical porous alumina lattices by DIW. We discover that the two gelling additives can lead to distinctive microstructures due to their different gelling mechanisms. Moreover, the 3D printed hierarchical porous ceramic lattices are found to exhibit a potential energy absorption property. The effects of ink formulations, including gelling additives and solid loading, on ink rheology, microstructure, and mechanical properties are investigated. The 3D printed hierarchical porous ceramic lattices exhibit a high average porosity of 73.7%-79.3% with an average compressive strength of 1.53-9.61 MPa and a specific energy absorption of 0.33-2.67 J/g. Featuring two distinctive microstructures with tunable structural features and mechanical properties, the 3D printed hierarchical porous ceramics in this study have potential in many applications, including lightweight structures, tissue engineering scaffolds, filtration, etc.
