Abstract
Systems and methods for low-cost and morphologically stable 3D printing are disclosed. A solution-based method for 3D printing, comprising i) providing a substrate comprising a flat surface; ii) providing a first solution of a self-assembled monolayer (SAM) molecule comprising a functional group at each end of the SAM molecule; iii)applying the first solution to the flat surface of the substrate to form a first SAM comprising a first liquid surface; iv) providing a second solution of a metal precursor; v) applying the second solution on the first liquid surface to form a second liquid surface over the first SAM; vi) applying a first force to cross-link the first SAM; vii) repeating steps iii) and v)-vi) to form a multiple layer of the SAM; and viii) either applying a second force to anneal the multiple layer of the SAM to form a soft material or applying a third force to anneal the multiple layer of the SAM to form a hard material.
