The production of polymer reference materials for microanalysis with high homogeneity by a 3D printing method

Abstract

Laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS) is a powerful tool for the microanalysis of solid materials. Still, one limitation of this method is the lack of well-characterized homogeneous...

“…182 Technetium-99 and 129 I were the radionuclides of interest for Fu et al 183 Iodine-129 measurement was not affected by isobaric interferences as 129 Xe was not present; the focus was on the +3 and +5 states. In the case of 99 Tc, the isobaric interference from 99 Ru cannot be resolved by the 3 MV AMS used in this study, but suppression and ionisation was achievable during extraction in the ion source. A detection limit of 10 11 atoms for 99 Tc was achieved.…”

“…A paper by Gao et al reported the production of polymer reference materials possessing high homogeneity that had been produced using 3D printing . 99 Solutions of Cd, Cr and Pb were gravimetrically doped into polyacrylate resin and then mixed. The 3D process then cured the samples.…”
