Liquid 3D
HORIZON.1.1 – European Research Council (ERC)
Something new for 3D-printed bioinspired electronics
A transition from rigid, brittle, polluting and battery-dependent electronics to soft, resilient, recyclable and self-powered ones is in progress. In this context, the EU-funded Liquid3D project will develop a series of groundbreaking sinter-free printable composites based on liquid metals, in order to 3D print functional cells for sensing, acting, processing and energy storage that are entangled together in a distributed and three-dimensional fashion. Liquid3D aims to provide design freedom to scientists, allowing them to print futuristic soft electronics. What’s impressive about these electronics is that they will enable a new level of bioinspiration in man-made devices, which was not possible before. The project will also develop fundamental understanding and mathematical modelling of biphasic composites based on liquid metal, and methods for recycling the developed composites.
