The first step towards forming a printable slurry is the synthesis of ceramic powder. Here, copper doped diopside powder with a stoichiometry of CaMg0.99Cu0.01Si2O6 was synthesized by a co-precipitation method.
Briefly, magnesium chloride hexahydrate (MgCl2•6H2O, >98%, Carl-Roth), calcium chloride (CaCl2, >98%, Carl-Roth), and copper chloride (CuCl2, 99%, Sigma-Aldrich) were added to ethanol. After complete dissolution, tetraethyl orthosilicate ((C2H5O)4Si, TEOS, VWR Chemicals) was added in a molar ratio of 1 : 0.99 : 0.01 : 2 (Ca : Mg : Cu : Si) and stirred for 2 h. For precipitation, 25% ammonia solution (Carl-Roth) was added and stirred overnight. The co-precipitated product was then centrifuged and washed before being dried overnight at 80°C and calcined in air for 2 h. Finally, the synthesized Cu-DIO powder was collected and sieved to a particle size smaller than 125 μm for subsequent use.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Chemically N-acetylated chitosans were prepared using acetic anhydride (Roth, Germany)74 (link). Briefly, chitosan (DP 1300, Đ 1.8, FA 0.03; prepared from shrimp shell α-chitin by four sequential heterogeneous de-N-acetylation steps using hot alkali by Mahtani Chitosan, Veraval, India95 (link) was solubilised in water by adding 5% stoichiometric excess of acetic acid and stirred until completely dissolved. One volume of 1,2-propanediol (Roth, Germany) was added to the chitosan solution to reduce the isoelectric constant of the medium and to help chitosan chains to adopt an open conformation. acetic anhydride was then added in the required molar amount to reach the target FA. After 24 h at RT, chitosan was precipitated with an ammonia solution (23% w/v (Roth, Germany)). The polymer precipitate was washed to neutrality and freeze-dried for subsequent use.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
