Scalable 3D Bicontinuous Fluid Networks: Polymer Heat Exchangers Toward Artificial Organs

Abstract

A scalable method for fabricating architected materials well-suited for heat and mass exchange is presented. These materials exhibit unprecedented combinations of small hydraulic diameters (13.0–0.09 mm) and large hydraulic-diameter-to-thickness ratios (5.0–30,100). This process expands the range of material architectures achievable starting from photopolymer waveguide lattices or additive manufacturing. As a service to our authors and readers, this journal provides supporting information supplied by the authors. Such materials are peer reviewed and may be re-organized for online delivery, but are not copy-edited or typeset. Technical support issues arising from supporting information (other than missing files) should be addressed to the authors.
