Book Chapter
McIlroy, C., Seppala, J. E., & Kotula, A. P. (2019). Combining Modeling and Measurements to Predict Crystal Morphology in Material Extrusion. In Polymer-Based Additive Manufacturing: Recent Developments (85-113). American Chemical Society. https://doi.org/10.1021/bk-2019-1315.ch006

Semicrystalline polymer melts are commonly used in material extrusion (MatEx) for 3D printing. Although flows have a profound effect on polymer crystallization, the relationship between typical MatEx deformation rates and printed-part crystal morphol...

Effects of Drive Amplitude on Continuous Jet Break-up (2019)
Journal Article
Mcilroy, C., & Harlen, O. G. (2019). Effects of Drive Amplitude on Continuous Jet Break-up. Physics of Fluids, 31(6), https://doi.org/10.1063/1.5099016

We develop a one-dimensional (1D) model of jet break-up in continuous inkjet printing to explore the non-linear behaviour caused by finite-amplitude modulations in the driving velocity, where jet stability deviates from classic (linear) 'Rayleigh' be...

A method for predicting geometric characteristics of polymer deposition during fused-filament-fabrication (2019)
Journal Article
Hebda, M., McIlroy, C., Whiteside, B., Caton-Rose, F., & Coates, P. (2019). A method for predicting geometric characteristics of polymer deposition during fused-filament-fabrication. Additive Manufacturing, 27, 99-108. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.addma.2019.02.013

© 2019 Elsevier B.V. In recent years 3D printing has gained popularity amongst industry professionals and hobbyists alike, with many new types of Fused Filament Fabrication (FFF) apparatus types becoming available on the market. A massively overlooke... Read More about A method for predicting geometric characteristics of polymer deposition during fused-filament-fabrication.
