METHODS OF RAPID 3D NANO/MICROFABRICATION OF MULTIFUNCTIONAL SHELL-STABILIZED LIQUID METAL PIPE NETWORKS AND INSULATING/METAL LIQUIDS ELECTRO-MECHANICAL SWITCH AND CAPACITIVE STRAIN SENSOR

摘要

An electronic switch apparatus, a capacitive strain gauge apparatus and a nozzle apparatus, as well as methods for making electrodes such as liquid metal pipes are provided. A nozzle apparatus includes (a) a nozzle housing defining a cavity, where the nozzle housing defines an inlet at a first end and defines an outlet at a second end and (b) a first tube defining an inlet at a first end and defining an outlet at a second end, wherein the first tube is at least partially disposed in and is co-axially arranged with the nozzle housing, where the first tube defines a first flow channel, wherein a second flow channel is defined between an exterior surface of the first tube and an interior surface of the nozzle housing.
