This work focuses on developing next-generation additive processes that are capable of micro- and nano-scale features and have the ability to create components with mixtures of materials ranging from polymers to metals and ceramics.
Development of these processes also involves the synthesis and materials science of feedstocks such as photopolymers and nanoparticles.
These capabilities are utilized to fabricate micro-architected materials with unique designer properties, such as negative thermal expansion.
Dr. Eric B. Duoss is currently a Member of the Technical Staff at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, where he conducts research in the areas of advanced materials and manufacturing combined with micro-architected design.
Founded in 1952, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory is a U.S. national security laboratory, with a mission to ensure national security and apply science and technology to the important issues of our time. Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory is managed by Lawrence Livermore National Security, LLC for the U.S. Department of Energy's National Nuclear Security Administration.
