A new, 3D-printable polymer nanocomposite ink has incredible properties — and many
applications in aerospace, medicine and electronics. Mechanical engineering researchers
at Michigan Technological University have created a way to make a 3D-printable nanocomposite
polymeric ink that uses carbon nanotubes (CNTs) — known for their high tensile strength
and lightness. This revolutionary ink could replace epoxies — and understanding why
its properties are so fantastic is a first step toward its mass use.
