Aging behavior of thermoplastic elastomers in the laser sintering process (2014)
Journal Article
Ziegelmeier, S., Wöllecke, F., Tuck, C. J., Goodridge, R. D., & Hague, R. J. (2014). Aging behavior of thermoplastic elastomers in the laser sintering process. Journal of Materials Research, 29(17), 1841-1851. https://doi.org/10.1557/jmr.2014.172

It is known that polymers used in laser sintering (LS) change their intrinsic properties due to processing conditions that are close to the crystalline melting temperature. This paper evaluates the aging behavior of a thermoplastic polyurethane powde... Read More about Aging behavior of thermoplastic elastomers in the laser sintering process.

An experimental study into the effects of bulk and flow behaviour of laser sintering polymer powders on resulting part properties (2014)
Journal Article
Ziegelmeier, S., Christou, P., Wöllecke, F., Tuck, C., Goodridge, R. D., Hague, R. J., …Wintermantel, E. (2015). An experimental study into the effects of bulk and flow behaviour of laser sintering polymer powders on resulting part properties. Journal of Materials Processing Technology, 215, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jmatprotec.2014.07.029

The properties of parts manufactured by laser sintering (LS) are, amongst others, influenced by the packing and flow efficiencies of the powders being processed.

In particular, this study investigated the influence of the bulk and flow characteris... Read More about An experimental study into the effects of bulk and flow behaviour of laser sintering polymer powders on resulting part properties.

An error diffusion based method to generate functionally graded cellular structures (2014)
Journal Article
Brackett, D., Ashcroft, I., Wildman, R., & Hague, R. J. (2014). An error diffusion based method to generate functionally graded cellular structures. Computers and Structures, 138, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.compstruc.2014.03.004

The spatial variation of cell size in a functionally graded cellular structure is achieved using error diffusion to convert a continuous tone image into binary form. Effects of two control parameters, greyscale value and resolution on the resulting c... Read More about An error diffusion based method to generate functionally graded cellular structures.
