This study starts with a literature review on SLS-printed PA12 and how its ductility is influenced in the printing process as well as by post processing. The rest of the study focuses on one particular post processing technique, heat treatment under isostatic pressure, including an experimental phase …

Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) with Polyamide 12 is increasingly used for production of functional components for prototyping and end-use. Common grades of PA12 powders age and cause a stock of unsintered powder material that cannot be re-used within the SLS process. This research explores and validates …

Gedurende de afstudeerstage zijn er door de student vermoeiingstesten gedaan op glasvezel-APA6 composiet. Allereerst zal er op hoofdlijnen de achterliggende theorie besproken worden welke gedurende de literatuurstudie geraadpleegd zijn. Vervolgens zijn de proefstukken beschreven van geometrie tot productie. …

The proposed bi-functional protective structure intended to have hydrophilic interior towards the skin surface and hydrophobic exterior for protection, ensuring fast transfer of moisture between body and external environment. The sandwich structure is prepared using 100% wool jersey and varieties of …

Synthetic fibers, mainly polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polyamide (PA), polyacrylonitrile (PAN) and polypropylene (PP), are the most widely used polymers in the textile industry. These fibers surpass the production of natural fibers with a market share of 54.4%. The advantages of these fibers are …
