Purpose This study aims to demonstrate for the first time that cheap, commodity polymer, poly(propylene), can be successfully processed using high speed sintering, and it recycled several times through process, with little no detriment either polymer itself or parts obtained. is significant as a step towards realisation of sintering technology high-volume manufacturing.

In the article from Shuling Zhang and Youmei Ma, Silica nanoparticles with a refractive index matching poly (propylene carbonate) (PPC) diameter smaller than visible light wavelength were chosen to prepare transparent PPC/silica nanocomposites enhanced properties using simple melt compounding method. Details can be found in their article. DOI: 10.1002/app.51513
