Funded Activity Summary
Perfect particles: Accurate breakage predictions by 3D printing of granules. Granule breakage of micro-structured specialty products impedes manufacturing and degrades product performance. Predictive breakage models have had limited success as each granule has a unique structure. Differences between the model predictions and experimental breakage test results could be due to inaccurate models or irreproducible experimental results due to granule structure differences. This project is expected to be the first ever application of three-dimensional printing for reproducible breakage testing. The project aims to: create the first ever multiple identical copies of complex granules using polyjet three-dimensional printing; model and experimentally measure granule breakage; and develop sophisticated Digital Elevation Models of granule breakage for practical use in industry.Funded Activity Details
