Improving 3D Printability and Functional Performance of Polyethylene across Visible and IR Spectrums through IR Transparent Pigmentation and Polyolefin Additives
DownloadFall 2023
Polyolefin thermoplastics form a significant fraction of the world scale production of plastics and are of high interest due to their toughness, low cost, good chemical resistance and excellent IR properties. Two grades of PE: Linear Low-Density Polyethylene (LLDPE) and High-Density Polyethylene...

Intellectual Property, Makerspaces and 3D Printing
2015-01-29
Austin, Mallory, Trosow, Samuel E., McNally, Michael B.
The session examines the issues raised by makerspaces in the context of Canadian intellectual property law. Questions addressed include: what responsibilities to librarians have under trademark law and the Patent Act; what are the copyright implications of makerspace technologies; what role does...

Manufacture and Characterization of 3D-Printed Sugar-Reduced Layered Chocolates and their Sensory Perception
DownloadFall 2021
High global sugar consumption exceeding recommendations and an increased awareness of health concerns associated with excess sugar consumption have promoted the development of sugar-reduced foods by manufacturers, and consumption of sugar-reduced foods by consumers. As confectionary items are a...

Manufacturing and evaluation of the tensile properties of 3D printed human hair reinforced composites
DownloadSpring 2023
This thesis proposes a novel method to 3D print human hair-based polymer composites. Human hair is a biological fiber whose microstructure is well-defined. It possesses high tensile strength, thermal insulation, a unique chemical composition, and elastic recovery, among other qualities. However,...

Rojas, David Funes, Li, Haoyang, Orhan, Okan K., Shao, Chenwei, Hogan, James D., Ponga, Maricio
We present a combined experimental and computational investigation of the mechanical properties of a CoCrFe0.75NiMo0.3Nb0.125 (composition in molar ratio) high-entropy alloy additively manufactured via cold spray. We find that the sprayed alloy exhibits extraordinary mechanical properties under...

Modification of Thermal and Mechanical Properties of Polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) through Addition of Bio-based Plasticizing Materials and Additive Manufacturing Processing
DownloadFall 2018
The non-degradable polymers currently used for commercial production and application may be inexpensive; however, their excessive use is leading to unprecedented amounts of plastic waste and extensive environmental damage. The demand for biologically-derived, biodegradable polymers is therefore...

Optimizing Print Parameters for Maximizing Tensile Strength of Additively Manufactured Polymers Through Evolutionary Algorithms
Download2022-06-01
Nguyen, N., Sanderson, B., Malazadeh, S., Hosseeini, A., Kishawy, S., Rahnamayan, S.
Additive Manufacturing (AM) has been adopted world- wide for rapid prototyping and small-scale production of complex parts. Despite its widespread adoption, much is still unknown about AM. Many researchers have devoted significant efforts t o studying the importance of AM characteristics such as...
