Influence of boundary masks on dimensions and surface roughness using segmented exposure in ceramic 3D printing

Mask projection stereolithography can be used to fabricate complex ceramic parts layer by layer through the photopolymerisation of ceramic suspensions. The broadening or lateral overcure of the curing shape occurs because of light scattering effects. Achieving a better dimension and strength quality by adjusting light energy delivery in the boundary mask area has been insufficiently investigated thus far. In this study, the conventional mask was segmented into boundary and interior masks. The exposure time and power of the boundary mask (two pixels wide) were varied to investigate the effects of segmented exposure. The segmented exposure constrained the dimension errors to a width of within two pixels for a feature dimension of less than 1200?µm. It further smoothed the lateral surface of the green part to achieve Ra values of below 6?µm. Moreover, enhancing the boundary mask increased the flexural strength and Weibull modulus to 248?MPa and 11.1, respectively. The results indicate that segmented exposure can potentially be used in complex lattice ceramic structures.

A novel randomly textured phosphor structure for highly efficient white light-emitting diodes

We have successfully demonstrated the enhanced luminous flux and lumen efficiency in white light-emitting diodes by the randomly textured phosphor structure. The textured phosphor structure was fabricated by a simple imprinting technique, which does not need an expensive dry-etching machine or a complex patterned definition. The textured phosphor structure increases luminous flux by 5.4% and 2.5% at a driving current of 120 mA, compared with the flat phosphor and half-spherical lens structures, respectively. The increment was due to the scattering of textured surface and also the phosphor particles, leading to the enhancement of utilization efficiency of blue light. Furthermore, the textured phosphor structure has a larger view angle at the full width at half maximum (87°) than the reference LEDs.     

Characterization of poly(N-vinyl-2-pyrrolidone)s with broad size distributions

We report on the characterization of the solution structure of poly(N-vinyl-2-pyrrolidone)s (PVP) by small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) and by online coupling of asymmetrical flow field-flow fractionation (A4F), SAXS and dynamic light scattering (DLS). The commercial products PVP K30 and PVP K90 with nominal molar masses of 40 × 10³ and 360 × 10³ g mol⁻¹, respectively, were investigated separately and as binary mixture. Detailed information for all polymer fractions is available on the polymer contour lengths and the diffusion coefficients. Key areas of applications for the A4F-SAXS-DLS coupling are seen in comparison to static light scattering for polymers with radii of gyration smaller than 10 nm, for which only SAXS produces precise analytical results on the size of the polymers in solution.

Light‐scattering capacity of ethylene–vinyl acetate copolymers in polypropylene: Toward high haze and transmittance

Light‐scattering materials were fabricated by the melt blending of polypropylene with an ethylene–vinyl acetate copolymer (EVA) to prevent the glare effect of light‐emitting diodes. The results show that the light‐scattering capacity was remarkably dependent on the phase morphologies of EVA. (1) When EVA was dispersed as spherical droplets, the transmittance and haze gradually increased with the enrichment of EVA, and the half‐peak width of the light‐scattering pattern reached a maximum when 30 wt % EVA was loaded. On the basis of the analysis of Mie scattering theory, the enlargement of scattering particles promoted light transmittance, and more incoming light was deflected at the arclike interfaces. This induced a distinct antiglare effect. (2) When scattering particles deformed and expanded vertically in the light‐transmitting direction, the light‐scattering capacity turned out to be weakened by further enrichment of the EVA phase. The planelike interfaces reduced the deflection of incoming light, and this led to decreases in the scattering angles. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Appl. Polym. Sci. 2015 , 132, 42844.     

Investigating polymer crystallization by time-dependent light scattering: a direct approach in the data analysis applied for s-polypropylene

We developed a procedure for a direct evaluation of light scattering patterns registered during an isothermal crystallization of s-polypropylene. Analysis is based on the determination of three parameters of the scattering curve for both, polarized and depolarized measuring conditions: (i) the forward scattering intensity I(q→0) (ii) the width Δq of the intensity distribution (iii) the integral intensity in the registration plane, Q₂. We derive equations for these parameters and relate them to the size and the inner structure of the hedrites which develop in s-polypropylene during a crystallization.     

Synthesis of hypergrafted poly[4-(N,N-diphenylamino)methylstyrene] through tandem anionic-radical polymerization of radical-inimer

In this paper, we present a tandem anionic-radical approach for synthesizing hypergrafted polymers. We prepared 4-(N,N-diphenylamino)methylstyrene (DPAMS) as a new radical-based inimer. Linear PDPAMS was prepared through anionic polymerization. Hypergrafted PDPAMS was synthesized through the self-condensing vinyl polymerization of DPAMS with linear PDPAMS. The linear backbone of PDPAMS, which incorporated latent radical initiating sites, served as a ‘hyperlinker’ to link hyperbranched side chains. The molecular weights of hypergrafted polymers increased as the length of the linear backbone chain increased. The hypergrafted structure of the resulting polymer was confirmed using a conventional gel permeation chromatograph apparatus equipped with a multiangle light scattering detector, nuclear magnetic resonance, differential scanning calorimetry, and thermogravimetric analysis. This strategy can be applied to synthesize other complex architectures based on hyperbranched polymers by changing the structure of a polymer backbone through anionic polymerization.

Investigation of aggregation, breakage and restructuring kinetics of colloidal dispersions in turbulent flows by population balance modeling and static light scattering

Quantitative modeling of aggregating colloidal systems is the underlying problem in many industrial processes, such as micro and nanoparticle processing, crystallization or flocculation. Population balance models with various aggregation and breakage kernels have been proposed in order to describe aggregating systems, but they have been rarely validated against appropriate experimental data. Typically, model parameters are fitted against a single measured moment of the cluster distribution which can usually be equivalently described using several variations of the set of parameters underlying the relevant aggregation, breakage and restructuring kernels. In order to discriminate among alternative models we propose an approach based on measurement and quantitative modeling of multiple moments of the cluster mass distribution, such as those obtained from static light scattering measurements. This approach is applied to aggregation processes in turbulent conditions in order to test alternative kernels for aggregation, breakage, and restructuring kinetics. We present a detailed study on the sensitivity of measurables from static light scattering with respect to commonly used aggregation and breakage kinetic models. In particular, we analyze the dynamic and steady state behavior of two measurables: the average radius of gyration and the average zero angle intensity which represent two independent moments of the cluster mass distribution. In addition, we discuss the effect of cluster structure and mass distribution on the average structure factor and the apparent fractal dimension measured by static light scattering, in order to assess what structural information can be reliably extracted from such measurements.     

Raman spectroscopy of stressed samples of oriented poly(ethylene terephthalate)

Measurements of the shift and change of shape of the 1616 cm⁻¹ Raman scattering peak of two moderately oriented samples of poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) under tensile loads of up to 0.2 GPa are reported, together with the corresponding strains. To obtain reproducible results load cycling procedures were adopted similar to those established for the study of viscoelastic behaviour. The Raman scattering was observed with polarized incident and scattered light, with the polarization directions either both parallel or both perpendicular to the draw direction in the samples. The results showed that for both samples the Raman shift was linearly related to the applied stress below the yield point. Up to the yield point very little change of line width was observed but above the yield point the width increased significantly. Differences in both widths and shifts were observed for the two polarization directions at the same stress level. The results are discussed in terms of the usual assumptions that the shift of the line gives a measure of the average stress in those chains which predominantly contribute to the peak and that the width and shape of the line give information about the spread of stresses. It is concluded that the technique can give useful information about the molecular stress distribution in thick samples of moderately oriented PET under load, including information about the different stress distributions on chains at different angles to the draw direction.     

Lattice Model for Estimating the Opacity of White Coatings

White pigments impart opacity to films and coatings by virtue of their ability to scatter incident light. This study considers a homogeneous coating that contains a low concentration of randomly dispersed, monodisperse pigment particles. The optical properties are determined using a lattice model with cell size defined by the diameter ( d ) of the particles. For pure scattering, the contrast ratio (CR) is an algebraic function of the scattering coefficient (κ), pigment volume fraction (φ), and coating layer thickness ( L ), as follows: [formula omitted]When tested against literature data for white films opacified with titanium dioxide, an empirical expression with a single adjustable constant provides a better interpolation formula than the above equation. This discrepancy is attributed to the contribution of a minor amount of absorption to the measured opacity.

Phase separation kinetics of rigid-rod polymers during coagulation

Kinetics of phase separation of poly(p-phenylenebenzobisoxazole) (PBO) in methanesulfonic acid are examined by the time-resolved small angle light scattering and turbidity measurements. Thin films of polymer solutions are spin-coated on microscope slides and observed in a controlled environment light scattering cell. These solutions appear to undergo a spinodal decomposition-like phase separation, following Cahn-Hilliard type phase separation kinetics upon exposure to water vapor. An exponential increase in the scattered light intensity at short times is found. Transmittance measurements are used to determine the effects of molecular weight and coagulation medium on the rate of coagulation.

Instrumentation on Multi-Scaled Scattering of Bio-Macromolecular Solutions

The design, construction and initial tests on a combined laser light scattering and synchrotron X-ray scattering instrument can cover studies of length scales from atomic sizes in Angstroms to microns and dynamics from microseconds to seconds are presented. In addition to static light scattering (SLS), dynamic light scattering (DLS), small angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) and wide angle X-ray diffraction (WAXD), the light scattering instrument is being developed to carry out studies in mildly turbid solutions, in the presence of multiple scattering. Three-dimensional photon cross correlation function (3D-PCCF) measurements have been introduced to couple with synchrotron X-ray scattering to study the structure, size and dynamics of macromolecules in solution.     

A Novel Method for Estimating Light-Scattering Properties of Soot Aerosols Using a Modified Single-Particle Soot Photometer

A Single-Particle Soot Photometer (SP2) detects black refractory or elemental carbon (EC) in particles by passing them through an intense laser beam. The laser light heats EC in particles causing them to vaporize in the beam. Detection of wavelength-resolved thermal radiation emissions provides quantitative information on the EC mass of individual particles in the size range of 0.2–1 μm diameter. Non-absorbing particles are sized based on the amount of light they scatter from the laser beam. The time series of the scattering signal of a non-absorbing particle is a Gaussian, because the SP2 laser is in the TEM00 mode. Information on the scattering properties of externally and internally mixed EC particles as detected by the SP2 is lost in general, because each particle changes size, shape, and composition as it passes through the laser beam. Thus, scattered light from a sampled EC particle does not yield a full Gaussian waveform. A method for determining the scattering properties of EC particles using a two-element avalanche photodiode (APD) is described here. In this method, the Gaussian scattering function is constructed from the leading edge of the scattering signal (before the particle is perturbed by the laser), the Gaussian width, and the location of the leading edge in the beam derived from the two-element APD signal. The method allows an SP2 to determine the scattering properties of individual EC particles as well as the EC mass. Detection of polystyrene latex spheres, well-characterized EC particles with and without organic coatings, and Mie scattering calculations are used to validate the method.

Pore Structure Control of Silica Gels Based on Phase Separation

In the alkoxy-derived sol-gel system, various macroporous morphologies can be obtained by inducing the phase separation parallel to the sol-gel transition. This principle of macroporous morphology control can be best applied to pure silica and silica-based multicomponent oxide systems. The earlier the phase separation takes place than the sol-gel transition, the larger the characteristic sizes of pores and gel skeletons become. The time resolved light scattering measurements revealed that the morphology formation process exhibits the features of spinodal decomposition and that the final gel morphology is determined by the competitive kinetics between the domain coarsening and the structure freezing by sol-gel transition. The mesopore structure of such macroporous gel skeletons could be easily tailored by the solvent exchange procedures. Silica gels with controlled macropores and mesopores were successfully applied as a material for the continuous rod type column for high performance liquid chromatography.
