“…[89] The possibility of designing and printing different shapes is also useful for changing the aspect ratio of the 3D printed object, or to print objects with high surface area for analytical separation, membranes, and molecule capture. This approach, for example, has been shown fruitful for desalinization and (waste)water treatment, [90][91][92][93] and for gas capture using MOFs embedded in the 3D printing material. [94] Another field that has greatly exploited 3D printing is catalysis (Figure 4b).…”

Although 3D printers are becoming more common in households, they are still under‐represented in many laboratories worldwide and regarded as toys rather than as laboratory equipment. This short review wants to change this conservative point of view. This mini‐review focuses on fused deposition modeling printers and what happens after acquiring your first 3D printer. In short, these printers melt plastic filament and deposit it layer by layer to create the final object. They are getting cheaper and easier to use, and nowadays it is not difficult to find good 3D printers for less than €500. At such a price, a 3D printer is one, if not the most, versatile piece of equipment you can have in a laboratory.

Biodegradable polymers exhibit shortcomings, including low thermal stability and electrical conductivity. These challenges limit the broad applications of several applications, such as electronic devices. They show suitable dielectric, thermal, and electrical conductivity compared to the biodegradable polymer alone. Several methods can improve biodegradable polymers' dielectric, thermal, and electric conductivity, including co-polymerization, blending, and cross-linking with other polymers. Furthermore, the formation of nanocomposites seems to be the most effective method to improve the properties and performance of biodegradable polymers. This book chapter summarized biodegradable polymers' dielectric, thermal, and electrical conductivity. Biodegradable polymers nanocomposites consisting of polymers blend, inorganic, and other nanomaterials were discussed.

Although 3D printers are becoming more common in households, they are still underrepresented in many laboratories worldwide and regarded as toys rather than as laboratory equipment. This short review wants to change this conservative point of view. This mini-review focuses on Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) printers and what happens after acquiring your first 3D printer. In short, these printers melt plastic filament and deposit it layer by layer to create the final object. They are getting cheaper and easier to use, and nowadays it is not difficult to find good 3D printers for less than 500€.

3D-printed monolithic biofilters based on a polylactic acid (PLA) – hydroxyapatite (HAp) composite for heavy metal removal from an aqueous medium

Abstract: Water purification filters based on polylactic acid functionalised with hydroxyapatite were prepared by solvent-assisted blending and thermally induced phase separation (TIPS), extruded into filaments and processed via three-dimensional (3D) printing.
