“…[ 7 ] Ink formulations that contain the appropriate metal precursors in the form of nanoparticles or molecular compounds are dispensed using some method of printing onto the substrate in prescribed areas and a post‐print processing step is required to achieve the desired properties in the metal structure. [ 8 ] Post‐processing can also be required for other materials such as polymers to modify the surface texture, degree of crosslinking, porosity, or residual stresses that ultimately affect the mechanical properties of the printed structure. [ 9 ] Most commonly, thermal treatment is the best choice; however, it is often the case that one or more of the device materials (including the substrate) is incompatible with heating and alternative approaches are required.…”

Additive methods for manufacturing materials have recently emerged, particularly for the fabrication of three-dimensional architectures. Because of their long history in thin-film etching and deposition, plasmas offer unique advantages for many of the materials and surface processes associated with additive manufacturing. Here, we review recent efforts that have been primarily focused on the direct writing of patterned structures and the post-treatment of printed materials. Different configurations, materials, and applications are presented. Current challenges and a future outlook are also provided. 3D printing, additive manufacturing, microdischarges, nanotechnology, roll-to-roll

Nanoparticles with absorption in Near-Infrared (NIR) region and subsequent efficient release of heat, are receiving great attention due to wide opportunities of applications in different fields including biotechnology and nanomedicine. However, the colloidal solutions of such nanoparticles may have limitations in effective application connected with long-term stability of nanoparticle solutions and possible re-usability. Therefore, this minireview focuses on the state-of-the art of research and application of photothermally active nanoparticles

“…The possibility of printing low viscosity solutions allows the deposition of a wide range of materials, including polymers, 23,24 sol-gels, 25,26 and dyes. 27 Conversely, inkjet ability to print particles suspensions makes possible also the deposition of insoluble materials like metals, 28 metal oxides 29,30 and ceramics 31 in the form of nanoparticles. Moreover, some organic functional materials like graphene 32 or carbon nanotubes 33 can be easily printed, and even living cells.…”

This paper starts with a short review of smart materials, which can be 4D printed and whose properties can be modified over time through specific stimuli such as heat, light, temperature, electric and magnetic fields. In the second part of the paper, a new polymer material for 4D printing was presented. The material was a thermally activated shape memory polymer (SPM), capable of memorizing a temporary shape and restoring the original one by means of a thermal stimulus. A self-healing behavior was introduced into the polymer, to enhance its durability and make it suitable for application in the fields of soft robotics and actuators. A polycaprolactone (PCL) was selected to provide a shape memory effect, taking into account its molecular weight and the possibility of chemically modifying it in order to make it photo-curable. Self-healing properties were provided by an ureidopyrimidinone (UPy) methacrylate monomer, capable of forming four hydrogen bonds with a self-complementary unit, favored by temperature. This new material was thus 4D printed by a digital liquid processing (DLP) printer. Both the shape memory effect and the self-healing feature were demonstrated, enabling this new material to be used as a raw material for new generation soft robotic actuators.
