Multifunctional heat exchangers derived from three-dimensional micro-lattice structures

A micro-scale cross-flow heat exchanger is constructed from a hollow nickel micro-lattice structure, which is fabricated by conformally electroplating nickel onto a sacrificial polymer micro-lattice formed from self-propagating photopolymer waveguides. The periodic unit cell of the hollow nickel mic...

Description
Summary:A micro-scale cross-flow heat exchanger is constructed from a hollow nickel micro-lattice structure, which is fabricated by conformally electroplating nickel onto a sacrificial polymer micro-lattice formed from self-propagating photopolymer waveguides. The periodic unit cell of the hollow nickel micro-lattice structure tested here includes lattice members with a diameter
