Novel research has synthesized 3D-printable composite inks by incorporating nano-clay and carbon nanotubes (CNTs) in epoxy. The addition of two-dimensional nanomaterials such as CNTs enables 3D-printed materials to adapt to an external stimulus which allows them to have different characteristics including thermal and electrical conductance.
