Printing of functional materials in 2D and 3D structures by Halevi, Oded

“…This research is expected to contribute in two main ways: (1) it demonstrates how taking advantage of basic chemical principles, such as hydrophilic-hydrophobic interactions and crystallization, can help overcome limitations of functional materials and increase their potential utilization. (2) This work also contributes to the overall effort of advanced manufacturing, as it sets clear examples as for how printing technologies can be utilized to enhance the applicability of functional materials and fabrication of functional devices. …”
