A method for preparing conductive bioscaffolds based on self-excited electrostatic field-driven melt-jet 3D printing

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for preparing a conductive bio-stent based on self-excited electrostatic field-driven melt-jet 3D printing. The carbon nanomaterial / polymer composite material is driven by a self-excited electrostatic field to print and prepare a conductive bio-stent. The device is connected to a high-voltage DC power supply through a conductive patch wound on the nozzle shoulder, which serves as an extraction electrode to achieve high-resolution and stable printing, and also avoids short-circuit problems caused by high voltage passing through the conductive composite material adjacent to the micro-screw.

Problems solved by technology

However, this method uses a nozzle. Because the composite material is conductive, there is a problem that the entire micro-screw and the system are easily connected to the high-voltage electricity on the nozzle, which will cause a short circuit in the printing system.

[0005] ZL201710528176.8 discloses an electric field-driven spray deposition 3D printing device. This method only uses a connected ring-shaped extraction electrode to provide the required electric field, does not require a grounded counter electrode, and the ring electrode does not directly contact the nozzle. There are limitations in material jet deposition 3D printing in terms of printing materials, nozzle materials, and substrate materials, but there are still some problems. In actual use, it is difficult to ensure that the ring electrode and the nozzle are concentric with high precision, which affects the stability of the electric field during high-precision printing. , affecting the accuracy of the printed results

The applicant found that because the extraction electrode is a flat plate electrode, the center is set as a circular through hole, the wall thickness, that is, the distance between the outer diameter and the central circular hole is relatively large, and the inner diameter of the extraction electrode does not fit the outer wall of the nozzle, resulting in an electric field The focusing effect is not ideal, and the electric field strength directly under the nozzle is low, which affects the high-stable electric field requirement for high-precision printing
