Geometric determinants of sinterless, low-temperature-processed 3D-nanoprinted glass.

ABSTRACT: Glass materials are essential for microsystems applications in fields ranging from optics and photonics to microfluidics and biomedicine, which has driven growing interest in additive manufacturing-or "three-dimensional (3D) printing"-to enable glass micro/nanotechnologies. Notably, the recent discovery that 3D-nanostructured fused silica glass components can be produced via "two-photon direct laser writing (DLW)" of hybrid organic-inorganic polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxanes (POSS)-based resins holds unique promise, particularly due to the advantages of sinterless, low-temperature (i.e., 650 °C) post-processing. At present, however, it remains unknown how implementing such methodologies to 3D print larger glass microstructures (e.g., with ≥25-µm-thick features) affects critical materia
