“…In these blending systems, PVC contributes to good flame retardancy and high tensile and flexural properties, whereas ABS can enhance processability, impact, and chemical resistance of the products. Property profiles of these blends are superior to those of component homopolymers, which makes them economically attractive for special markets, for example, automotive engineering plastics 17, 18…”

“…Property profiles of these blends are superior to those of component homopolymers, which makes them economically attractive for special markets, for example, automotive engineering plastics. 17,18 Pavan et al 19 studied the impact performance of PVC/ABS blends; they found that the impact behavior varied extensively over the composition range and related to the blends composition and structure. Additionally, Sharma et al 15 discussed about the development of PVC/ABS blends in various properties such as mechanical properties and thermal properties.…”

“…1 The effective density of porous structure (q*) can be predicted by (1 2 ø)q s , where q s is the density of base foaming material (1.24 g/cm 3 for PLA). The SEM images were analyzed for porosity as explained which reveals a value of 0.69561 for ø and hence q* is 0.8626 g/ cm 3 . The porous structure density was determined experimentally with the "Density Determination Kit" by Denver Instruments and it gave a value of 0.8796 g/cm 3 .…”

“…ABS has been mass‐produced with wide range of applications since 1960s because of its interesting properties, chemical resistance, ease of processing, and foaming. Many reviews had been published about ABS and its foam structures . High density cellular structures of ABS can be used as a replacement of solid ABS as a weight saving technique while keeping the overall effective properties within acceptable range.…”

The ability to control material properties in space and time for functionally graded viscoelastic materials makes them an asset where they can be adapted to different design requirements. The continuous microstructure makes them advantageous over conventional composite materials. Functionally graded porous structures have the added advantage over conventional functionally graded materials of offering a significant weight reduction compared to a minor drop in strength. Functionally graded porous structures of acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) had been fabricated with a solid‐state constrained foaming process. Correlating the microstructure to material properties requires a deterministic analysis of the cellular structure. This is accomplished by analyzing the scanning electron microscopy images with a locally adaptive image threshold technique based on variational energy minimization. This characterization technique of the cellular morphology is analyst independent and works very well for porous structures. Inferences are drawn from the effect of processing on microstructure and then correlated to creep strain and creep compliance. Creep is strongly correlated to porosity and pore sizes but more associated to the size than to porosity. The results show the potential of controlling the cellular morphology and hence tailoring creep strain/compliance of ABS to some desired values. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Polym.

Abstract3D printing of gears via fused deposition modeling (FDM) has been recently introduced as a low‐cost efficient manufacturing method. Different materials have been 3D printed and Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS) with excellent mechanical properties has been found to be promising. However, 3D printed ABS gears possess a high level of abrasion rate. This paper introduces a new class of ABS‐based gears reinforced by different amounts of milled E‐glass fibers and 3D printed by FDM with acceptable thermo‐mechanical properties and performance. A set of thermo‐mechanical tests is carried out to provide an insight into the influence of adding glass fibers on the glass transition temperature (Tg), hardness and teeth bending strength, teeth failure force, weight lost, abrasion resistance, mechanical wear, and performance of composite gears. The mechanical behaviors of driving and driven gears are examined in high and room temperatures with or without lubrication. Microstructure and gear profile analysis of 3D printed layers, worn surfaces, and fracture locations are also conducted by SEM images and profile projector. The newly developed glass fiber reinforced ABS gears reveal a high level of thermo‐mechanical performance in terms of hardness, mechanical strength, bending force, abrasion and wear resistance compared to pure 3D printed ABS gears.
