摘要

Direct-ink-writing type additive manufacturing with water-based inks such as hydrogels or polymer solutions is broadly utilized for bioprinting applications. However, the resolution of this implementation is limited due to the rapid ink drying experienced at small size scales leading to nozzle clogging and low fidelity prints. To address this issue, a humidity-controlled direct-ink-writing (HCDIW) approach is presented, where the microenvironment around the printing nozzle is controlled through introduction of aerosolized water. Using this approach, the nozzle microenvironment can be varied between undersaturated yet high relative humidity (ambient to 100% RH) to oversaturated conditions where condensing droplets are deposited on the already printed ink filaments. The influence of the aerosolized water and the resultant micro-environment on the printing process was studied using water dissolved sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (NaCMC) ink, specifically focusing on nozzle clogging, printed filament geometry, surface quality and layer by layer stacking. These studies showed that the ink drying induced nozzle clogging issues can be mitigated through increased relative humidity at the nozzle exit and is virtually eliminated for similar to 100 mu m nozzles in oversaturated conditions. The decelerated ink drying under the effect of aerosolized water leads to reduced solute advection and skin formation. This in turn improves surface roughness while reducing adverse effects such as coffee-ring and void formation during additive manufacturing of micro-scale structures. Furthermore, layer-to-layer fusion and associated side-surface quality were improved specifically in undersaturated conditions. Reduction of deposited ink filament concentration in oversaturated conditions leads to excessive spreading of the deposited inks leading to geometric distortions. These results indicate that the humidity control approach can significantly improve the resolution of the direct-ink-writing approaches, enabling processing of water-based inks at micro-scales.
