Ceramic additive manufacturing (AM) has emerged as a promising method for producing high-value and high-performance components in various fields. However, current ceramic vat photopolymerization (VPP) techniques rely on printing ceramic-photopolymer matrix or preceramic photopolymer, which is complex and limited in terms of materials and equipment. The topic of this PhD programme is about AM of architected ceramics via precursor absorption. In this technique, the 3D printed frameworks absorb preceramic materials, which could be debinded and sintered resulting in a high-precision 3D ceramic structure. Compared with existing ceramic VPP strategies, this technology does not require repeatedly optimizing photopolymer formulas and printing parameters for different ceramic. It also provides a new pathway for creating advanced ceramic architected structures via ordinary 3D printing and simple processes for the fabrication of high-performance devices in various fields such as chemical industry, electronics, energy storage, robotics, and biomedical engineering.
