Electroless Plating of PLA and PETG for 3D Printed Flexible Substrates

ECS Transactions, 2015
The NiP and Cu electroless metallization of 3D printed polymers is presented. The plating process is tested on suitable samples, which reproduce the printing morphologies used in the 3d printing of objects. An alkaline etching is used for both the polymers in order to modify the surface properties and enhance the adhesion and uniformity of the metallic

Impact of dopants on X‑ray attenuation of 3D‑printed polymers for mammography and tomosynthesis spectra

Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, Volume 27, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Background 3D‐printing enables the production of anthropomorphic breast phantoms for assessing image quality in digital mammography (DM) and breast tomosynthesis (DBT). 3D‐printing materials must be selected carefully to mimic breast tissue attenuation for clinical spectra.

A Dual Cell‐Line Molecular Platform to Assess Sub‐Threshold Biocompatibility: Application to Processed Orthodontic Clears Aligners

Orthodontics &Craniofacial Research, Volume 29, Issue 4, Page 671-679, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Objective Traditional biocompatibility assessments primarily address cytotoxicity and bulk material properties but often overlook molecular responses that occur below toxicity thresholds. Detecting these subtle effects is crucial for materials intended for prolonged contact with human tissues.
