Unit cell estimation of volumetrically-varying permittivity in additively-manufactured ceramic lattices with X-ray computed tomography

Additive manufacturing of ceramics is transforming electromagnetics by providing density-varying lattices and stochastic foams within arbitrary envelopes. Periodic structures can now be fabricated with zirconia which offers the highest permittivity of any 3D printable material possible to be printed with nearly-full-density. By arranging a lattice with variation in the strut and node sizings as well as unit cell dimensions, the effective density...
