theoretical density with well-controlled microstructure. Rheological measurements are used to determine optimal dispersant concentration for ink preparation. After creating a stable Ni suspension at a solid volume fraction φsolids = 0.57, the suspension is flocculated to achieve a colloidal gel at φsolids = 0.472. Again, rheological measurements are used to assess flow behavior after flocculation. Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) is used to estimate residual carbon content in sintered Ni. Hardness measurement and metallography of sintered nickel structures are presented as measures of the final product properties. Finally, fabricated objects of various shapes using nickel ink are demonstrated. 4.2. Experimental Section 4.2.1. Materials A near-spherical shaped nickel powder (ENP 800, Umicore, Fort Saskatchewan, Alberta, Canada), with a mean particle size 0.8 µm and theoretical density of 8.908 g/cm 3 , is used as the colloidal phase. The manufacturer assay reports a tap density of 4.0 g/cm 3 , 0.15% carbon (proprietary polymer used by manufacturer for powder synthesis) and 0.6% oxygen by weight, and specific surface area 0.9 m 2 /g. A 50% by weight aqueous solution of polyethylenimine (PEI) with MW 2k (PEI-2K) (Cat # 408700, SigmaAldrich, Milwaukee, WI), a branched PEI with MW 25k (PEI-25K) (Cat # 408727, SigmaAldrich, Milwaukee, WI), and a 50% by weight aqueous solution of branched PEI with MW 50k- 100k (PEI-50K) (ICN Biomedical, Aurora, OH) are compared for use as dispersant. An 40% by weight aqueous solution of the ammonium salt of poly(acrylic acid) (PAA) (Darvan 821A, R.T. Vanderbilt Co., Norwalk, CT) is used as the flocculant. Hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) (Methocel F4M, Dow Chemical Company, 114
Midland, MI) 5% by weight stock solution in de-ionized (DI) water is used as viscosifier. DI water wherever mentioned has a nominal conductivity 5×10 -4 (ohm·cm) -1 . Paraffin oil (Ultra-Pure, Lamplight Farms, Menomonee Falls, WI) is used for oil bath during the printing operation. 4.2.2. Dispersion of Nickel The dispersant and its optimal concentration are determined by viscosity measurement for aqueous nickel suspension. Apparent viscosity (ηapp) is measured as a function of shear rate (
