Additive Manufacturing of Next Generation Dielectric Metamaterials for High Frequency Applications

This research project will assess the feasibility of introducing novel metamaterials through real integration of advanced manufacturing technologies and material sciences to produce complex structures with characteristics that are not generally offered by existing materials. This could offer a radically new way of designing and manufacturing electronic components with tailored performance characteristics. To achieve this multidisciplinary project, electronic components or substrates comprising of selected ceramic and/or metal meta-atoms of various sizes and shapes will be formulated, fabricated, processed, characterised and their electronic properties measured at high frequencies.
