Upcycling for circular material flow

Plastic bottles are some of the most commonly received items for recycling iniatives. Once processed, these bottles can then be upcycled into raw material used by 3D printers to create new products.

Our next entry in this series will be focused on how 3D printing with plastics can enable circular economies. As an approach to environmental sustainability, a circular economy is characterized by the creation of economic models where no negative impact to the environment is generated. By recycling plastics recovered from used products into new printing materials, manufacturers can leverage additive manufacturing techniques (such as 3D printing by material extrusion) that can extend the lifetime of materials that would have otherwise been prematurely treated as waste. The economic impact of creating circular material flows and "upcycled" products has the potential to disrupt the economies of multiple manufacturing sectors.

3D Printing Webinar - March 16, 2018

Join us for a webinar to learn about one of the cutting-edge applications of nanoscientific research:

3D Printing: Cellulose and PEGDA Nanocomposites

Join us for a series of lectures featuring materials sciences expert Prof. Rigoberto Advincula of Case Western Reserve University! Our new 2018 series with Prof. Advincula is focused on giving audiences a deeper look into various aspects of 3D printing. With applications in many fields such as manufacturing, medicine, architecture, and custom art and design, 3D printing is be at the forefront of many commercial technologies for years to come.

Our next entry in this series is focused on how cellulose and PEGDA nanocomposites are utilized in 3D printing. Cellulose, in the form of paper, has been used since the 2nd century CE as a material to write and print on. Now, researchers are keen to make this incredibly abundant and naturally occurring material into a renewable and biodegradable alternative to the polymers used to print objects today. Other researchers are also developing materials such as polyethylene glycol diacrylate, or PEGDA, a type of nanocomposite for applications for usage in scenarios where toxicity is a particularly sensitive factor such as biomimetic tissue scaffolding.

Join us as Prof. Advincula surveys the field of 3D printing research and development through the lens of the latest in nanoscale characterization techniques.

LINK 1: Scanning Ion Conductance Microscopy (SICM) and Scanning Electrochemical Microscopy (SECM)

Park Systems Webinar - December 15, 2017

Join us for a webinar to learn about one of the cutting-edge applications of nanoscientific research:

Scanning Ion Conductance Microscopy (SICM) and Scanning Electrochemical Microscopy (SECM)

    The applications staff of Park Systems is proud to present an introduction to both scanning ion conductance microscopy (SICM) and scanning electrochemical microscopy (SECM). SICM is one type of scanning probe microscopy (SPM) technique that allows researchers to determine the surface topography of samples at nanometer range in a non-destructive manner and under in-situ conditions. SECM is another type of SPM technique that can allow researchers to investigate the local electrochemical phenomena at various materials interfaces in-liquid.

    SICM uses the increase of access resistance in a nanopipette placed in an electrolyte solution and monitors the ionic current flowing in and out of this probe—a flow that is hindered as the tip closes in on a sample surface. In SECM, an electrode tip is used to acquire spatially resolved electrochemical signals over a region of interest. The 2D raster scan information can then be compiled to provide users with images of surface reactivity and information on the rates of chemical processes.

    Join us as the Technical Marketing staff at Park Systems, explains the basics of both SICM and SECM and reviews potential applications for each technique separately and jointly for investigations in analytical chemistry and electrochemistry.

Park Systems Webinar - March 29, 2018

Join us for a webinar to learn about a cutting-edge application of nanoscientific research:

Atomic Force Microscopy PinPoint Nanomechanical Mode for Nanoscale Modulus Mapping – Cantilever Modulus and Applied Force

The applications staff of Park Systems will give this webinar on atomic force microscopy PinPoint Nanomechanical Mode for Nanoscale Modulus Mapping, specifically, we will look at the influence of cantilever stiffness and applied force on the measured modulus.

PinPoint Nanomechanical mode obtains the best of resolution and accuracy for nanomechanical characterization. Stiffness, elastic modulus, adhesion force are acquired simultaneously in real-time. While the XY scanner stops, the high speed force-distance curves are taken with well defined control of contact force and contact time between the tip and the sample. Due to controllable data acquisition time, PinPoint™ Nanomechanical mode allows optimized nanomechanical measurement with high signal-to-noise ratio over various sample surfaces.
Join us as Dr. Wenqing Shi, Applications Scientist here at Park Systems, gives an overview of PinPoint Nanomechanical Mode, the influence of cantilever stiffness and applied force on the measured modulus.

PinPoint Nanomechanical Mode is a new atomic force microscopy-based method that can acquire a quantifiable elasticity map at a dramatically faster rate than traditional force-volume spectroscopy techniques without sacrificing resolution.

    Our next entry in this series is focused on how viscous solutions are utilized in 3D printing. Convention 3D printers use basic print heads that only allow for thin liquids to be pass through when printing objects. Thin liquids by nature are composed of shorter molecular chains which translate to increasingly brittle and fragile structures once the liquid has cured. To get around this problem, developers have been hard at work creating print heads that can handle liquids wich much longer molecular chains and are therefore thicker than materials used in the past.
