Abstract
3D printing of novel and smart materials has received considerable attention due to its applications within biological and medical fields, mostly as they can be used to print complex architectures and particular designs. However, the internal structure during 3D printing can be problematic to resolve. We present here how time-resolved synchrotron microbeam Small-Angle X-ray Diffraction (μ-SAXD) allows us to elucidate the local orientational structure of a liquid crystal elastomer-based printed scaffold. Most reported 3D-printed liquid crystal elastomers are mainly nematic; here, we present a Smectic-A 3D-printed liquid crystal elastomer that has previously been reported to promote cell proliferation and alignment. The data obtained on the 3D-printed filaments will provide insights into the internal structure of the liquid crystal elastomer for the future fabrication of liquid crystal elastomers as responsive and anisotropic 3D cell scaffolds.

Abstract
3D printing of amorphous and crystalline ceramics is of paramount importance for the fabrication of a wide range of devices with applications across different technology fields. Printed ceramics are remarkably enabled by the sol-gel synthesis method in conjunction with continuous filament direct ink writing. During printing, multiple processes contribute to the evolution of inks including shape retention, chemical conversion, solidification, and microstructure formation. Traditionally, depending on the ink composition and printing environment, several mechanisms have been associated with the shape retention and solidification of 3D printed structures: gelation, rapid solvent evaporation, energy-driven phase transformation, and chemical-driven phase transformation. Understanding the fundamental differences between these mechanisms becomes key since they strongly influence the spatiotemporal evolution of the materials, as the out-of-equilibrium processes inherent to the extrusion, relaxation, and solidification of printed materials have significant effects on the materials properties. In this work, we investigate the shape retention mechanism and the hydrolysis-induced material conversion and microstructure formation during the 3D printing of a water reactive sol-gel ink that transforms into titanium dioxide-based ceramic. This study aims at identifying characteristic mechanisms associated with the material transformation, establishing connections between the microstructure development and the timescales associated with solidification under operando 3D-printing conditions. The investigation of this material's out-of-equilibrium pathways under processing conditions is enabled by time-resolved coherent X-ray scattering, providing simultaneous access to temporospatially resolved microstructural and dynamics information. Furthermore, we explore X-ray speckle tracking as a tool to resolve deformations of the microstructure in a printed filament associated with the deposition of consecutive filaments. Through this work, we aim at providing a fundamental understanding of the relationships behind these transformative processes in 3D printing and their timescales as the basis for achieving unprecedented control over printed materials microstructure.

Abstract
In this paper, we summarize briefly some of the future trends in synchrotron science as seen at the National Synchrotron Light Source II, a new, low emittance source recently commissioned at Brookhaven National Laboratory. We touch upon imaging techniques, the study of dynamics, the increasing use of multimodal approaches, the vital importance of data science, and other enabling technologies. Each are presently undergoing a time of rapid change, driving the field of synchrotron science forward at an ever increasing pace. It is truly an exciting time and one in which Roger Cowley, to whom this journal issue is dedicated, would surely be both invigorated by, and at the heart of.

Abstract
Electrospray deposition (ESD) enables the growth of solution deposited thin films in a precise and continuous manner by the delivery of submicron droplets of dilute solutions to a heated substrate. By combining ESD with programmable motor control and gradient solution pumping in a first-of-its-kind user tool at the Center for Functional Nanomaterials at Brookhaven National Laboratory, we show the ability to create one or two dimensional compositional gradient nanoscale films via ESD. These capabilities make it possible to construct thin film multicomponent "libraries" on a single substrate to rapidly and systematically characterize composition-dependent properties in a variety of material systems such as thin films involving homopolymer and block copolymer blends. We report the design, construction, and validation of a gradient ESD tool that allows users to carefully control the jet stability, flow composition, spray position, and substrate temperature. Calibrated thin films range in thickness from tens to hundreds of nanometers. We demonstrate gradient thin films using a ternary dye triangle as well as a gradual blending of polystyrene homopolymer with poly(styrene-block-methyl methacrylate) on a single substrate. Paired with the rapid measurement capabilities of synchrotron small angle X-ray scattering, this tool forms an integral part of a new platform for high-throughput, autonomous characterization and design of nanomaterial thin films and soft materials more generally.

Abstract
Extrusion-based additive manufacturing methods, such as direct-write of carbon fiber-reinforced epoxy inks, have become an attractive route toward development of structural composites in recent years, because of emerging techniques such as big area additive manufacturing. The development of improved materials for these methods has been a major focus area; however, an understanding of the effects of the printing process on the structural and dynamic recovery in printed materials remains largely unexplored. The goal of this work is to capture multiscale and temporal morphology and dynamics within thermosetting composite inks to determine the parameters during the printing process that influence the recovery of the printed material. Herein, we use X-ray photon correlation spectroscopy in small-angle scattering geometry to reveal both morphology and recovery dynamics of a nanoparticle (layered-silicate Cloisite 30B) in a thermoset epoxy resin (EPON 826) during the printing process in real time. Our results show that the dynamics of the layered silicate particles during recovery are anisotropic and slow down to behavior which is characteristic of aging in colloidal clay suspensions around tage ≈ 12 s. The dynamics and alignment of the particles during recovery were tempo-spatially mapped, and the recovery post printing was shown to be strongly influenced by the deposition onto the build plate in addition to the extrusion through the print head. Our in operando results provide insight into the parameters that must be considered when optimizing materials and methods for precisely tailored local properties during 3D printing.
