Given that polymers undergo heating during 3D printing, thermal degradation behavior of polymer, hormones and the 3D printed constructs were studied using TA Instrument Q5000 IR. The samples were tested using ramp method. Samples were heated from ambient temperature to 500°C at a rate of 20°C/min and changes in sample weight were measured. Changes in melting temperatures (Tm) and glass transition temperatures (Tg) of polymers due to addition of hormones were tested using DSC. Samples were heated from -80°C to 130°C at a rate of 10°C/min. Energy input (heat flow) was measured as a function of temperature in this analysis. Both analyses were carried out in a nitrogen environment.

A thermobalance, model Q5000IR (TA Instruments; New Castle, DE, USA) was used for TGA investigations. Temperature calibration was based on the Curie point of paramagnetic metals. A multipoint calibration with five Curie points from reference materials (Alumel, Ni, Ni 83%-Co 17%, Ni 63%-Co 37%, Ni 37%-Co 63%) was performed. TGA measurements were carried out at a heating rate of 10 °C/min from 25 to 700 °C under nitrogen flow (25 mL/min). The amount of sample in each measurement varied between 0.8 and 1.2 mg. TA Universal Analysis software was used in the data analysis of the thermograms. Triplicate analyses provided a 0.1% relative standard deviation.

Characterization of Graphene Oxide Composites

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The topography of GO flake and GO/SF/LiBr composite was characterized using an AFM (Cypher VRS, Oxford Instruments.) and Cryo-SEM (Quanta 450, FEI). Each experiment was repeated three times independently and produced similar results. The rheological properties of the GO/SF/LiBr inks were measured by a rheometer (MCR 301; Anton Paar). The viscosities of the ink were recorded within a shear rate from 10−1 to 103 s−1. The thermal stability and water content (11.3% RH) of the GO/SF/LiBr ink were characterized using a thermogravimetric analyzer (Ar, 10 °C/min, Q5000IR, TA Instruments). Raman spectra of the GO were collected using a Raman spectroscope (Horiba HR800, 532 nm). X-ray photoelectron spectra (XPS) of graphite paper and GO were collected using a PHI Quantera SXM (ULVAC-PHI) scanning X-ray photoelectron spectrometer microprobe.

The micromorphology and element composition of PSACs were determined by scanning electron microscopy (Flex SEM 1000, Hitachi, Japan) and EDS (Ultim Extreme, Oxford, UK). The phase of activated carbon was investigated by a powder X-ray diffractometer (Ultima IV, RIGAKU, Japan), and graphite properties were determined using Raman spectroscopy (InVia Qontor, Renishaw, UK). The change in PSACs chemical groups was determined using Fourier transformed infrared (Nicolet iS5, Thermo Scientific, America). Pore textural features of PSACs were analyzed using a Specific surface & pore size analysis instrument (ASAP 2460 2.02, Micromeritics, America). The thermal stability of activated carbon was evaluated using a thermogravimetric analyzer (Q5000 IR, TA, America). The zeta potential of AC was tested using Malvern Zetasizer Nano (Nano-ZS90, UK).

The thermal properties of the films were determined based on the ASTME standard E1131-20 (27 (link)) and ISO 11358-1:2014 (28 ). Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) was performed on a Q-5000IR (TA Instruments, New Castle, DE, USA) coupled with a differential thermal analyser (DTA). Each film sample (approx. 5 mg) was heated from 30 to 600 °C with a heating rate of 20 °C/min under nitrogen flow (40 mL/min). The melting point (Tm) was recorded at the temperature at which the endothermic peak appears in the thermograms, and three samples were measured for each film type.

Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) was performed on a Q5000IR (TA Instruments, Inc., New Castle, DE, USA) analyzer. The air flow was 25 mL min−1, the temperature range was 25 to 700 °C and heating rate was 10 °C min−1. Before the TG measurements were performed, the samples were exposed to an atmosphere with room temperature and relative humidity of 75% (provided by the saturated solution of ammonium chloride).

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.
