Three dimensional structures made of sugar based materials can be utilized in tissue engineering since sugar serves as a nutrient for growing cells. It can also be applied in other areas of life like food industry or art. Following paper describes preparation of a material based on commonly used sucrose and proteins contained in chicken eggs. Furthermore a method of additive manufacturing with use of the mentioned material is also described. Method is based on a direct write 3D printing technology and was implemented by utilizing a low cost commercial 3D printer alongside with an industrial glue dispenser. The printed parts are then dried using UV light or a common oven and presented results are discussed.
See-through layers of conductive material are used in many fields of science and technology for example on screens of electronic devices or heated car windows. An elaboration of a high-performance and economical method of producing transparent electrodes is one of the challenges of today's science. This paper presents the results of spraying test of various conductive inks, performed on an ultrasonic spray coating station, leading to a development the optimal parameters of manufacturing the transparent conductive electrode. Spray coating is one of the most common techniques of coating objects with thin films. The ultrasonic atomization used in this process allows the increase of the precision and thus decrease of thickness and higher homogeneity of applied layers. In this study, after the selection of the best carrier and coating parameters, a suspension of carbon nanotubes was created and used for coating. The prepared sample was subjected to electrical tests and the results of these studies have been described.
