Researchers Create 3-D Printed Capillary Lattice


Inspired by the way plants absorb and distribute water and nutrients, researchers at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) have developed a method for transporting liquids and gases using capillary action and a 3D-printed lattice.
In a paper published in Nature, researchers describe 3D-printed microstructures capable of creating controlled contact between liquid and gas. The porous, open-cell structures use capillary action, driven by surface tension, to create and control the flow of both.
Researchers said the technique could have broad-ranging impacts on numerous fields involving multiphase (gas/liquid/solid) processes, including electrochemical or biological reactors used to convert carbon dioxide or methane into energy, advanced microfluidics, solar desalination, air filtration, heat transfer, transpiration cooling, and the delivery of fluids in low- or zero-gravity environments. ....
