Working Principles of 3D Xerography

This researchis a continuation of the development of 3D Xerography (3DX).The adhesion force between molten medium density polyethylene (MDPE) particles to a Teflon substratewas investigated. Special attention was placed on the molten state adhesion experiment as it is among the first of its kind to...
