Wet 3D printing of natural polymer based conductive composites

This thesis presents the development of a wet 3D printing process, which uses a coagulation bath to fabricate carbon microtube composite structures. In this process, a composite ink is directly extruded trough a printer nozzle to a coagulation bath, where the ink solidifies and forms predefined structures. The wet 3D printing process allows the fabrication of intricate 3D structures which is not possible using other extrusion-based techniques such as wetspinning.
