Fused filament fabrication (FFF) is a material extrusion-based technique often used in desktop 3D printers. Polymeric filaments are melted and are extruded through a heated nozzle to form a 3D object in layers. The extruder temperature is therefore a key parameter for a successful print job but also one of the main emission driving factors as harmful pollutants (e.g., ultrafine particles) are formed by thermal polymer degradation. The awareness of potential health risks has increased the number of emission studies in the past years. However, studies usually refer their calculated emission data to the printer set extruder temperature for comparison purposes. In this study, we used a thermocouple and an infrared camera to measure the actual extruder temperature and found significant temperature deviations to the displayed set temperature among printer models. Our result shows that printing the same filament feedstocks with three different printer models and with identical printer set temperature resulted in a variation in particle emission of around two orders of magnitude. A temperature adjustment has reduced the variation to approx. one order of magnitude. Thus, it is necessary to refer the measured emission data to the actual extruder temperature as it poses a more accurate comparison parameter for evaluation of the indoor air quality in user scenarios or for health risk assessments.
Low-velocity impact damages were monitored in-situ using an infrared camera before, during and after Impact load. Thermal images were recorded as a function of time at the front side (impact) as well as at the rear side of the plates using a high frame rate. In CFRP and GFRP specimens with different thicknesses and made of various types of fibers and matrix materials, different kind of damages were observed. The sizes of the heated areas being related to the damages and the amount of energy dissipated into heat was determined quantitatively as a function of impact energy and are a measure of the resistance of the different materials against impact load.
We present an in situ triple coupling of synchrotron X-ray diffraction with Raman spectroscopy, and thermography to study milling reactions in real time. This combination of methods allows a correlation of the structural evolution with temperature information. The temperature information is crucial for understanding both the thermodynamics and reaction kinetics. The reaction mechanisms of three prototypical mechanochemical syntheses, a cocrystal formation, a C@C bond formation (Knoevenagel condensation), and the formation
of a manganese-phosphonate, were elucidated. Trends in the temperature development during milling are identified. The heat of reaction and latent heat of crystallization of the product contribute to the overall temperature increase. A decrease in temperature occurs via release of, for example, water as a byproduct.
Solid and liquid intermediates are detected. The influence of the mechanical impact could be separated from temperature effects caused by the reaction.
We present a first direct measurement of the temperature during milling combined with in situ Raman spectroscopy monitoring. The data reveal a low temperature increase due to the mechanical impact and clear temperature increases as a consequence of the reaction heat. Based on the data, temperature rises as postulated in the magma plasma and hot spot theory can be excluded for soft matter milling syntheses.
The increased use of fibre reinforced plastic (FRP) composites for improved efficiency and reliability in energy related applications, e.g. wind and marine turbine blades, nacelles, oil and gas flexible risers, also increases the demand for innovative non-destructive testing technologies. In this contribution, results concerning the characterisation of CFRP and GFRP during and after quasi-static tensile loading are presented. It includes the measurement of optical properties in the infrared spectral range, tensile loading tests with the observation of the temperature distribution at one or both sides of the specimens using an infrared camera for the preparation and monitoring of intended natural defects, and active thermography inspections after tensile loading. It is shown that the defect preparation was successful. Thermographic monitoring during and active thermography testing after tensile loading enable the detection of the lateral extend of the generated defects. Differences between CFRP and GFRP materials are discussed.
