Powder Characterization for Additive Manufacturing

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Particle size distribution (PSD) was checked on the Keyence VHX-6000 (Keyence International, Mechelen, Belgium) digital microscope and post-processed by binary image processing (with similar quality as the laser diffraction method). Powder flowability depends on grain size distribution. The key properties of the powders for AM applications are tap and apparent densities, and flowability. These properties were measured here with the following methods:

Apparent and tap densities—calculated according to the ASTM B212.

Flowability—flow rate tested using a calibrated funnel on the Hall flowmeter per the ISO4490:2018 standard.

Both powders were stored in an air-filled container for a few weeks, and they were dried at 150 °C for 60 min before testing.
The chemical composition of the UA powder and its raw material was measured by an inductively coupled plasma-optical emission spectrometry PerkinElmer Optima 4300 DV (ICP-OES method) (PerkinElmer, Inc., Waltham, MA, USA). In the case of PAGA powder, the chemical composition was taken from the quality check datasheet of the purchased powder.

Photosynthetic tissues were dried and pulverized in a heater for 48 h at 70 °C and conserved in desiccators until analysis (<15 days). For the analyses of C and N, 0.7 mg of dried, pulverized samples was weighed with a Microbalance MX5 Mettler Toledo, and the concentrations of the elements were determined by combustion coupled to gas chromatography (Smith and Tabatabai, 2004 ) with a CHNS Eurovector 3011 Elemental Analyzer and a Thermo Electron NA 2100 Gas Chromatograph (C.E. instruments-Thermo Electron, Milan, Italy).
For the other elements (P, S, Ca, Mg and Fe), 0.25 g of dried, pulverized sample was diluted in an acidic mixture of HNO3 (60%) and H2O2 (30% w/v) and digested in a microwave system (MARSXpress, CEM Corporation, Matthews, NC). The digested solutions were dissolved in a 1% HNO3 solution and then brought to final volume of 50 mL with ultrapure water. Blank solutions (5 mL of HNO3 and 2 mL H2O2 but no sample biomass) were regularly analyzed. After digestion, the concentrations of Ca, K, Mg, S, P and Fe were analyzed by ICP-OES (Inductively Coupled Plasma - Optical Emission Spectrometry) (Priester et al., 2011 ) with a spectroscopy Optima 4300DV (Perkin-Elmer Inc., Wellesley, MA). We used the standard certified biomass NIST 1573a (tomato leaf) to assess the accuracy of the biomass digestion and analytical procedures.

According to EU regulations and FDA standards, 50% (v/v) ethanol solution is selected as a food simulated solution to represent alcoholic foods [25 (link)]. The migration of nano-TiO2 to food simulated solution at 40 °C after high pressure treatment of PLA/ nano-TiO2 composite film was studied. Each composite film was cut into squares (4 cm × 4 cm) size with scissors and accurately weighed. The sample was put into a bottle with 30 ml of 50% (v/v) ethanol solution. All of the bottles containing the samples and ethanol solution were sealed and transferred into a constant temperature and humidity chamber at 40°C for 45 days. In this study, 0, 5, 10, 15, 25, 30, and 45 days were selected as the migration time, and the content of TiO2 in 50% (v/v) ethanol solution was determined by ICP-OES (Optima 4300DV, Perkin Elmer, Shelton, CT, USA) [14 (link)]. Calibration solution was prepared by dilution of stock standard solution. For each sample, the migration experiment was carried out in triplicate and the results are expressed in mg/kg.
