Designing sustainable polymer blends: tailoring mechanical properties and degradation behaviour in PHB/PLA/PCL blends in a seawater environment
(MDPI, 2023-06-29)
Biodegradable polyesters are a popular choice for both packaging and medical device manufacture owing to their ability to break down into harmless components once they have completed their function. However, commonly used ...
3D printing of photocurable resin reinforced by functionalised graphene nanoplatelets
(MDPI, 2023-05-05)
The influence of functionalised graphene nanoplatelets with melamine on the thermal and mechanical properties of a 3D-printed photopolymerisable resin is investigated. In this work, a liquid-based 3D printer and stereolithography ...
Triangular Silver Nanoparticles Synthesis: Investigating Potential Application in Materials and Biosensing
(MDPI, 2023-07-11)
Triangular silver nanoplates (TSNPs) exhibit unique optical and antimicrobial properties due to their shape, sharp edges, and vertices. In this study, TSNPs were incorporated into biopolymer blends (bacterial cellulose ...
Rheological behaviour of ABS/metal composites with improved thermal conductivity for additive manufacturing
(MDPI, 2023-11-17)
Metal-reinforced polymer composites are suitable materials for applications requiring special
thermal, electrical or magnetic properties. Three-dimensional printing technologies enable these
materials to be quickly shaped ...
Post-process considerations for photopolymer 3D-printed injection moulded insert tooling applications
(MDPI, 2024-04-17)
Injection moulding (IM) is a manufacturing technique used to produce intricately detailed
plastic components with various surface finishes, enabling the production of high-tolerance functional
parts at scale. Conversely, ...
