Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

3D printing technology is expected to revolutionize the development of components and systems, unifying materials and process engineering into a single process that could yield products unimaginable today. As well, inkjet printing can be considered a 2D or surface additive manufacturing technique. These 2D and 3D techniques have a wide variety of already mature applications in the (bio)medical, building, mechanical, and electrical engineering sectors, as well as in energy storage. 

This Special Issue aims to present novel developments in the field of 3D and 2D additive manufacturing for the development of microwave and millimeter-wave devices operating in the 3 GHz–300 GHz frequency range. Various topologies and functionalities can be addressed, such as filtering, coupling, radiative structures (antennas and radomes), waveguides, etc. 

Manuscripts can cover various aspects of this field, including modeling, design, fabrication, and measurements as well as polymer material selection. Considerations about sustainable/green manufacturing and review papers are also welcome.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Micromachines is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.

In this paper, we studied the operability of various components of vacuum electronic devices manufactured using the novel chemical metallization of photopolymer 3D-printed structures technology (CMPS), which is being applied at the Institute of Applied Physics, Russian Academy of Sciences (IAP RAS), for operation from microwave to sub-terahertz ranges. The key feature of this production method is the 3D printing (SLA/DLP, MJM technologies) of products and their further metallization. The paper presents the main stages of the process of chemical copper plating of polymer bases in various electrodynamic systems with complex shapes. A significant difference in the geometry and operating conditions of the created elements forms certain approaches to their production, as described in this work. Experimental studies of the implemented microwave components were carried out up to 700 GHz in the “cold” measurements; some electrodynamic structures were examined under conditions of sub-gigawatt peak power; and complex-shaped electrodes with cooling channels were tested under a continuous high thermal load. The conducted research has demonstrated the high potential of the developed methods of additive manufacturing of microwave device components and the prospects for their successful application in the described areas.
