Material development is key for continuing the exponential growth in the field of 3D printing. However, 3D printing of polymers by laser powder bed fusion (PBF‐LB) still is limited to a few polymer powder materials, which restricts the range of applications. Tailoring the chemical, rheological, mechanical, or optical properties of the feedstock powder to the requirements of the laser printing process poses a significant challenge. In order to meet global trends in the commercialization of desktop 3D printers, the use of inexpensive and compact diode lasers for PBF‐LB in the visible or near‐infrared range is highly desired. However, at present, only black objects can be printed by desktop laser printers since only commercial carbon black‐based composite powders meet their laser absorption requirements. In this study, a route for tuning the absorption properties of thermoplastic polyurethane polymers and incorporating color into printed objects by using minute amounts (i.e., 0.01 vol%) of highly dispersed plasmonic silver nanoparticles is reported, presenting a new way for colored parts to be produced through laser 3D printing.
Математическая модель «смартлинк соединения» дополнена в части моделирования прохождения сигналов по физическим каналам, учтено размытие сигналов, а также несколько видов потерь интенсивности сигналов при их прохождении по световодам. На основании построенной математической модели разработано программное обеспечение, реализующее и моделирующее функции коммутации каналов и самовосстановления соединения. В ходе проведения экспериментов с использованием разработанного программного обеспечения были изучены свойства самовосстановления «смартлинк соединений», а также получены оптимальные характеристики для изготовления многоканальных оптических делителей сигналов.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
