Tender Details

Description
Opportunity:
Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL), operated by the Lawrence Livermore National Security (LLNS), LLC under contract no. DE-AC52-07NA27344 (Contract 44) with the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), is offering the opportunity to enter into a collaboration to further develop and commercialize its method for designing and fabricating patterned metallic traces on glass surfaces.
Background:
Silicate glasses are typically difficult to plate and require many pretreatment steps to ensure uniform deposition and adequate adhesion. However, the incorporation of metallic surfaces and patterns allows functionalities such as electrical conductivity, thermal conductivity, catalytic activity that can enable the design and fabrication of functional glass devices, e.g., microfluidic circuits, electrochemical reactors and freeform optics.
Description:
LLNL researchers have continued to develop their pioneering DIW 3D-printed glass optics technology that allows for the 3D printing of single- and multi-material optical glass compositions in complex shapes. This LLNL invention further proposes incorporating dopants (including, but not limited to TiO2 and Pd) into slurries and inks for 3D printing of glass components that can then be directly plated. By using the ability to spatially control the composition of the glass, it is possible to 3D print glass with prescribed patterns of doped composition (e.g. a silica glass where certain regions are doped with TiO2 and Pd). When the entire glass construct is placed in an electroless plating bath, only the doped regions will be metallized. Several methods are proposed including DIW 3D printed green body, light-based stereolithography and direct powder bed melting.
Advantages/Benefits:
Allows silicate glasses to be plated easily and effectively with metallic layers. Allows functionalities such as electric conductivity, thermal conductivity, catalytic activity to ...
