High Performance Materials by the Powder Particle Assemblage

Abstract : The techniques of the particle assemblage have been developed to create intelligent materials by assembling particles. The particle assemblage techniques of particle arrangement, probe manipulation and composition are introduced in this paper. The probe manipulation is carried out in the air under optical microscopic observation and in vacuum under the SEM observation. We can fabricate 3-dimensional structures as designed from fine particles to some extent. Photonic crystals and ceramics heaters are fabricated by the probe manipulation in SEM and by the composition, respectively.
