研究目的
Investigating the modification of selective laser sintering (SLS) powder materials by nanoadditives to adapt the powder properties to the laser sintering process or the resulting part properties.
研究成果
The presented route consisting of laser synthesis of metal and oxide nanoparticle and their colloidal deposition on polymer powders is a feasible way to fabricate SLS-processable composite powders and to understand the nanoparticle effect on the SLS processability. However, further studies are necessary to analyze the influence of various factors on the process.
研究不足
The study acknowledges the need for further optimization regarding pH effects, nanoparticle material effects, and nanoparticle dose considerations. The influence of the size and the surface charge, the type and amount of nanoparticle material, as well as their degree of dispersion, need more attention.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study employs a novel approach where surfactant-free laser-generated colloidal nanoparticles are adsorbed onto the polymer surface directly in an aqueous solution.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Polyamide 12 (PA12) powders are decorated with metal and oxide nanoparticles.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
An 8 ns Nd-YAG-laser (1064 nm) operating at a laser power of 110 W and a repetition rate of 5 kHz, PA12 (EOS PA2200) microparticles, silver, iron oxide, and yttrium oxide nanoparticles.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
Laser synthesis of nanoparticles, mixing of polymer particles with the colloid, and SLS machining of the composite micropowder.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
Electron microscopy and confocal laser scanning imaging are used to analyze the dispersion of the filler.
