3D printing of glass fiber-reinforced polymer composites via multi jet fusion by Aguila, Reyniel Rosale

“…Despite the benefits of MJF over other processes, the lack of widespread adoption is mainly due to the limitation of material availability, in particular polymer composites. Glass beads (GB) and glass fibers (GF) reinforced Polyamide 12 (PA12) powder is a potential polymer composite. …”

In-plane aligned assemblies of 1D-nanoobjects : recent approaches and applications by Hu, Hebing, Wang, Shancheng, Feng, Xueling, Pauly, Matthias, Decher, Gero, Long, Yi

“…Optical polarizers are a typical class of such materials, but anisotropic materials properties can enhance the performance of devices and materials over many length scales in various disciplines of materials science including electronic devices, environmental sensors, energy saving and energy generation applications, plasmonic devices, Surface-Enhanced Raman Scattering (SERS) and biological applications. The reviewed alignment methods fall into two categories: techniques in which all nanoobjects remain in the x,y-plane and the in-plane densities and alignment are controlled; and techniques allowing building complex architectures in which each stratum of multilayered or stacked films may differ in chemical nature or alignment direction or both. …”

Enhancing circular dichroism by super chiral hot spots from a chiral metasurface with apexes by Wang, Zeng, Teh, Bing Hong, Wang, Yue, Adamo, Giorgio, Teng, Jinghua, Sun, Handong

“…A 4-fold enhancement of the circular dichroism and a strong optical activity of ∼15 degrees have been experimentally achieved. Besides the enhanced chirality, our design genuinely overcomes the nanofabrication challenge faced in existing planar chiral metasurfaces.…”
