Abstract
Direct print of 3D nanomaterials could be an advantageous way to obtain nanostructures to be applied in sensing and electronic components production. In this work, the full pathway of production of 3D nanostructures of gold is covered, from solid gold, to organometallic volatile gold compounds (used as ink) and printing of nanostructures. By studying the effect of different structural variations on each step of the process, it was possible to define what can make an ink suitable for the production of gold-containing 3D nanostructures. Hopefully, these observations will be an important contribution to understanding the nanoscale 3D printing process.
