Additive manufacturing technology of electroactive three-dimensional structures from diamond reinforced polylactide composites

The project focuses on the development of 3D printing technology using polylactide reinforced with diamond powder, enabling the development of 4D materials for the construction of free-standing sensory systems and actuators with characteristics modifiable by environmental factors. As part of the project, the authors intend to study the micromechanical and rheological interactions of composites, and the mechanisms of charge transfer in the volume of the material and on its surface. The main goal of the study concerns the determination and design of the stability of nanomechanical and electrochemical parameters of the composite, in terms of its use in accordance with the concept of intelligent 4D materials, including microelectrode matrix systems and flow sensors. The generated structures will be tested for the detection of selected organic compounds - anti-inflammatory drugs and antibiotics. The project will contribute to the expansion of the laboratory for the study of electrochemical and physicochemical phenomena of the Gdańsk University of Technology, and will result in numerous publications in Q1 ISI journals. Materials of high application and implementation importance will be produced and improved, which will be the basis for further grant projects, patents and cooperation. New experimental tools and modeling procedures will be developed. The research will be conducted in cooperation with the Faculty of Chemistry of the University of Gdańsk. The project closely matches the topics implemented within Advanced Materials and BioTechMed Centres, contributing the development of GUT's main research areas as part of the IDUB project.

3D-printable composites have become an attractive option used for the design and manufacture of electrochemical sensors. However, to ensure proper charge-transfer kinetics at the electrode/electrolyte interface, activation is often required, with this step consisting of polymer removal to reveal the conductive nanofiller. In this work, we present a novel effective method for the activation of composites consisting of poly(lactic...

This paper focuses on the development of a novel electrode based on boron-doped diamond nanosheet full-volume-enriched screen-printed carbon electrodes (BDDPE) for use as an impedimetric biosensor. Impedimetric biosensors offer high sensitivity and selectivity for virus detection, but their use as point-of-care devices is limited by the complexity of nanomaterials’ architecture and the receptor immobilisation procedures. The study...

Tailoring diamondised nanocarbon-loaded poly(lactic acid) composites for highly electroactive surfaces: extrusion and characterisation of filaments for improved 3D-printed surfaces
Publication
- MICROCHIMICA ACTA - Year 2023
A new 3D-printable composite has been developed dedicated to electroanalytical applications. Two types of diamondised nanocarbons - detonation nanodiamonds (DNDs) and boron-doped carbon nanowalls (BCNWs) - were added as fillers in poly(lactic acid) (PLA)-based composites to extrude 3D filaments. Carbon black served as a primary filler to reach high composite conductivity at low diamondised nanocarbon concentrations (0.01 to 0.2...

This manuscript presents an approach to sculpture high electrochemical activity of the 3D printed electrodes with poly(lactic acid) (PLA) matrix and carbon black (CB) filler by femtosecond laser (FSL) ablation. CB-PLA utility for electrochemical applications depends on a surface modification aiming to remove the PLA and uncover the conductive CB. We have discussed how laser pulse energy is critical for such an activation process....
