Abstract

Grayscale digital light projection (G-DLP) 3D printing is introduced to address the challenge in 3D printing and the integration of structures with controlled porosity. Structural properties of the printed materials were controlled from effectively dense to porous with interconnected pores up to 250 nm, realized within an individual print layer using a single ink. Using grayscale masks, heterostructures with physically dense areas were formed contiguous to intrinsically porous domains (porosity 23%). This single-step fabrication of functionally graded porous materials within a single layer was used to create a membrane-integrated device for the chemical analysis of soil samples.
