3D printing of electron-modified PLA
Yue Qi is working on the topic of "3D printing of electron-modified PLA" as part of a co-operative doctorate (Dresden University of Technology and Beijing Institute of Fashion Technology). The aim of this work is to increase the heat and flame resistance of PLA through the formation of stereocomplex crystals and the use of a bio-based flame retardant. The formation of the crystals is triggered by electron-induced grafting of PLLA and PDLA at low energy using a customised grafting agent.
