Background Of the many types of 3D printing, stereolithography (SLA) tends to produce the best resolution. SLA involves selectively curing a liquid photocurable polymer precursor with 2D light patterns to create a layered 3D structure. Because the precursors to SLA are liquid, mixing in nanoscale fillers allows effective 3D printing of nanocomposites...

Two-dimensional, transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) are a class of layered materials that are attracting significant research mainly due to their potential applications in flexible electronics, energy harvesting/storage, and photonics. TMDCs consist of a transition metal bonded to two semiconductor elements (chalcogenides) and have physical properties...
