3D printers from across the university, including our labs, have been brought together in the CTL to build face shields to help keep frontline NHS staff safe 🧑‍⚕️ Amazing work by everyone involved 💪

[A. G.Shirazi @azghsh]

Our poster session is going on @Ff3Dp

[A. G.Shirazi @azghsh]

My supervisor, Dr Mills, is presenting our work at #AIChEAnnual on Monday, November 11, 2019 - 3:30pm-5:00pm. If you have any question about "#additivemanufacturing of Food: Formulation and Printability Criteria" please feel free to ask.@ChemEngBham @Ff3Dp

[A. G.Shirazi @azghsh]

Great day at Women in Chemistry @WomeninScience4 #WICNotts2019 at UoN. Great talks, and really pleased to present the poster of our collaborative work "3D printing of a biocompatible and non-peptidic hydrogel "with RC4@ @Ff3Dp

To wrap up this week, I'm @leoywu4 who's part of research challenge 1 of @Ff3Dp team. It's really an honour for me to share with you this #innovative #AdditiveManufacturing #technology. We are striking to develop and optimise this #reactiveextrusion process. Hope you enjoy it 😉

[FF3DP @Ff3Dp]

This is how the #reactiveextrusion #3Dprinting system looks like. It features a customised #LulzbotTAZ #3dprinter with a dosing system. Optimisation is going on as shown on the photo, parameters such as mixer size, extrusion speed, print speed and etc. are all investigated.

[FF3DP @Ff3Dp]

Here are some woodpile structure printed by my colleague: Dr Xuesong Lu. The photos feature both a two layers and four layers 6cm x 6cm structure. It really shows the flexibility of the #formulation of the #reactiveextrusion process.#AdditiveManufacturing #polymers

[FF3DP @Ff3Dp]

Let's give a goal on #reactiveextrusion #3Dprinting a woodpile structure from the #polyurethane #formulation.
#additivemanufacturing #3dprint #polymers @EPSRC @UoNEngineering @UoNCfAM Optimisations is on the way.

[FF3DP @Ff3Dp]

After balancing the rheological properties with reaction kinetics, we are good to go for #3Dprinting. Some of the #printing photos and videos are coming on the way, stay tubed @UoNEngineering #UON @UoNCfAM

[FF3DP @Ff3Dp]

#Reactiveextrusion #3dprint #printability study involves carefully screen the reaction kinetics as discussed yesterday, and also the rheological properties. #Formulation flexibility allows us to tune the rheological properties as demanded.

[FF3DP @Ff3Dp]

Both the apparent viscosity and complex viscosity of the #materials are characterised, like in the photo which I'm characterising the visco-elastic profile for one #polyurethane formulation and another one shows the viscosity for different #isocyanates at different shear rate.

[FF3DP @Ff3Dp]

The reaction kinetics is monitored throughout the timeline. As can be seen, the isocyanate functional group -NCO peak at around 2260cm-1 quickly disappear after one minute, which proves the fast kinetics of this #ambientcuring #polyurethane formulation. 🙌 #UoN @UoNCfAM

[FF3DP @Ff3Dp]

Morning,
Following the intro on the ambient reactive extrusion #3dprinting yesterday, has anyone wonder what #materials can be used on this #3dprint process?
The #printability study starts from investigating the reaction kinetics of the formulation, as shown in the photo by FT-IR

[FF3DP @Ff3Dp]

I'm Leo who's part of @Ff3Dp research challenge 1 team, and is really happy to share with you the alternative #3dprint process I'm working on. Stay tuned :)

[FF3DP @Ff3Dp]

Morning,
A beautiful sunny day to kickstart this week, let's start with a puzzle: Is there any #additivemanufacturing #3Dprinting #technology which requires no external heating, has fast build speed, excellent bonding between layers and also easy scalability?

[FF3DP @Ff3Dp]

What about #ambientreactiveextrusion as in the schematic diagram?
with ambient fast curing kinetics of #polyurethane, this process provides print speed order of magnitude faster, better Z-strength and formulation flexibility (with different fillers) #polymer #materials

[UoN Science @UoNScience]

Award-winning science journalist and author of 'Inferior', @AngelaDSaini will be joining @UoN_Physics on #InternationalWomensDay to discuss 'How Science Got Women Wrong'.

Scanning electron micrographs of xerogels done at the @UoNnmRC might not always perfectly reflect what is in the gel, but they do give clues,and are beautiful as well!
