Preparation of near-spherical PA12 particles for selective laser sintering via Plateau-Rayleigh instability of molten fibers

We report a novel method to prepare near-spherical polyamide 12 (PA12) particles with controllable size for selective laser sintering (SLS) technology based on the Plateau-Rayleigh instability of molten PA12 fibers. In this method, PA12 fibers with desired diameters are first prepared by melt spinni...
