Combining mechanically stable ZrO2 with electrically conductive TiOx via Vat Photopolymerization

Speaker

Dr Tassilo Moritz (Fraunhofer Institute for Ceramic Technologies and Systems)

Description

Due to the combination of the advantageous properties of both ceramic materials, the material combination ZrO2/TiOx (titanium suboxides) offers interesting fields of application, e.g., for electrodes for the generation of cold plasmas, for cleaning or for the electrolytic splitting of water. ZrO2 contributes its mechanical strength and electrical insulation properties to the material composite, while titanium suboxides are known for their electrical conductivity but also for low mechanical strength. Processing both materials via Vat Photopolymerization into complex shaped components is very challenging, not least because of the opacity of the dark titanium suboxide to visible and UV light. In this presentation, results of a German-Korean research project between the partners Fraunhofer IKTS and KIMS are presented. Besides the presentation of the lithography-based MultiCAMP process, the development of components from the mentioned material combination via multi-material additive manufacturing and subsequent thermal co-processing will be discussed.
