Plasma-digital nexus: plasma nanotechnology for the digital manufacturing age

Abstract: Digital transformation in manufacturing is one of the key megatrends in the development of global economy and society. Three-dimensional (3D) printing is a transformative digital technology poised to disrupt manufacturing and supply chains across major industries. Here we critically examine relevant insights into current and emerging applications of plasma nanotechnology in printing, including 3D printing. Plasma devices operated at atmospheric pressure coupled with printing processes may help strengthen 3D pr… Show more

“…There is now increasing interest to incorporate plasmas in additive methods because of their key advantages for materials processing. [ 11 ] Perhaps most importantly, the non‐equilibrium physicochemical environment enables processes to be performed near room temperature, which is critical for materials central to additive manufacturing such as plastics, paper, and biomaterials. A much wider and more complex range of surface processes than thermal treatment can also be carried out.…”

“…This includes improvements in the mechanical properties of polymeric materials by the combination of plasmas and polymer‐based 3D printing, and the use of thermal plasmas in the synthesis of metal alloys and ceramics in a nanoparticulate form. [ 48 ] Moreover, we also note here that the plasma process offers more sustainable approaches for 3D printing and nanoparticle synthesis, because it is an environment‐friendly and cost‐effective technology, eliminating requirements for chemical pretreatments or harmful solvents.…”

“…Compared with, for example, solid‐material milling, AM is more time‐ and cost‐effective and offers increased versatility with respect to design limits, manufacturing and raw materials. AM, therefore, can accelerate growth and innovation in the traditionally linear and time‐consuming manufacturing processes, [ 47,48 ] thus changing the future technological landscape. [ 44 ]…”
