Investigating The Influence of Sic Reinforcement on The Mechanical and Tribological Properties of PA12 Polymer Composites in SLS
Abstract: The study investigates the mechanical and tribological performance of neat PA12 polymer and SiC-reinforced PA12 polymer composites made via Selective Laser Sintering (SLS). To evaluate just how reinforcement has influence upon overall performance, we incorporated into the PA12 polymer matrix a constant amount of 5 wt.% of Silicon Carbide (SiC). Mechanical testing focused on both tensile and fatigue behavior and testers conducted it with a Servo-Hydraulic Multipurpose High-Capacity Fatigue Test …

Influence of SlS Parameters on Strength and Fatigue Durability of Polyamide-12
Abstract: Selective Laser Sintering (SLS), a laser-based polymer powder bed fusion process, has gained prominence in the fabrication of high-performance thermoplastics such as Polyamide-12 (PA12). This paper provides an extensive review of how key SLS process parameters—such as laser power, scan speed, hatch spacing, and energy density—affect the mechanical properties of PA12 components, with a specific focus on tensile strength and fatigue resistance. Studies demonstrate that increasing energy input enhances particle …

Biopolymer-Based 3D Composite Scaffolds for Bone Tissue Engineering: Photothermal-Responsive Systems with Controlled Pt (IV) Prodrug Release
Abstract: Biopolymer-based composite scaffolds have attracted significant attention as multifunctional platforms at the intersection of polymer science, regenerative medicine, and cancer nanotherapy. In this study, a dual-functional scaffold was developed for simultaneous osteosarcoma treatment and bone regeneration using poly (L-lactic acid) (PLLA) reinforced with bioactive glass (BG) and integrated with a glutathione-responsive platinum (IV) prodrug system (PDA@Pt). To improve interfacial adhesion, photothermal conversion efficiency, and tumor-specific activation, the Pt (IV) prodrug …
