| Abstract | Additive manufacturing (AM) of spongy (cancellous) microstructures in the development and application of piezoelectric sprayers was investigated. The structures featuring microfluidic channels were made of solid polylactic acid (PLA) by fused deposition modelling (FDM) designed with a width of 35 mm, a depth of 25 mm, a height of 56 mm, and a cross-layer thickness of 2 mm. In total nine network structures were altered with the line widths (W d) from 300 to 500 μm and the line spacing (S d) from 250 to 400 μm. Then, one piezoelectric plate and another micronozzle array were assembled with the structures as a microactuator. The piezoelectric actuator had a resonance frequency of 107.8 ± 1 kHz, in which it generated microsprays of 3 ml water with a typical volumetric rate of ∼1.1 ml/min. On the basis of FDM with PLA, the works’ dimensional error analysis showed that the minimum AM errors (<5%) between the design and actual dimensions occurred with the W d of 350 μm and the S d of 300–350 μm. In addition, they experimentally discovered anisotropic wettability and different roughness of the PLA layered surfaces, largely concerning the microfluidic performance of the network structures of the piezoelectric sprayer. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
