The recycling of post-industrial waste poly(lactic acid) (PI-PLA) from coffee machine pods into electroanalytical sensors for the detection caffeine in real tea and samples is reported herein. PI-PLA transformed both nonconductive conductive filaments to produce full cells, including additively manufactured electrodes (AMEs). cell was designed utilizing separate prints body increase recyclability system. made filament able be recycled three times before feedstock-induced print failure. Three...

Serum creatinine concentration is an important clinical measure of kidney function. However, standard methods detection, such as the Jaffe method or enzymatic assays, suffer several disadvantages, including non-specificity and procedural complexity, high cost, respectively. In this work, we propose use nano-molecularly imprinted polymers (nMIPs) in conjunction with novel Heat Transfer Method (HTM) a promising alternative sensing platform to these existing for measuring serum concentration....

Laser Sintering is an additive manufacturing technology capable of producing robust, geometrically complex polymer parts, with polyamide 12, also known as nylon-12, the most common and well understood feedstock powder. While has drawn increased interest from industry for end-use components directly, little information currently available regarding effects in-service conditions on mechanical performance. When considering applications where parts spend significant periods time outdoors, such...

Abstract The use of polymer additive manufacturing to produce electrodes is an increasingly popular area electrochemical research. However, one downside additively manufactured the frequent need remove from electrode surface reveal a triple‐phase boundary in order for improved performance be realized. A common way achieve this, activation via chronoamperometry within aqueous sodium hydroxide solution. it has not been investigated whether same can carried out effectively solutions simple...
