Fused filament fabrication is an additive layer manufacturing technique. It was extensively used at the beginning for the manufacturing of prototypes, and it has been adopted during the last few years for the manufacturing of fully functional components. Polyetheretherketone (PEEK) has been thoroughly investigated as a composite matrix because of its outstanding mechanical properties and thermal and chemical stability. This study is focused on PEEK nanocomposites with different amounts of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) (i.e. 3, 5, 10 wt%) produced in the form of a filament and successively 3D printed. The influence of the CNT presence on printability was studied and correlated to the nanocomposite feedstock thermal and microstructural properties, defining a substrate temperature processability window. Interestingly the addition of CNTs significantly limits the processability window due to the influence on the crystallization process and viscosity. Moreover, the thermal and mechanical properties of 3D printed bulk samples were investigated in view of the PEEK/CNT nanocomposite feedstock properties. © 2021 Society of Chemical Industry

“…Since PEEK was first used in the reconstruction of bone defects in the late 1990s [9] , a significant number of studies have evaluated this material. However, most studies have focused on its manufacturing techniques [10][11] and efficacy in clinical applications [12][13] , and only few reports have reported its design workflow, which is indispensable for making custom-made PEEK implants. In this paper, we present the workflow and principles for the design and manufacture of PEEK implants and describe the detailed precise designing protocol to fill this gap.…”

Irregular craniofacial bone defects caused by craniofacial fractures always result in craniofacial bone and contour asymmetry and should therefore be reconstructed. Polyetheretherketone (PEEK) is an ideal substitute for autologous bone grafts and has been widely used in craniofacial bone defect reconstruction. The precise design of custom-made PEEK implants is particularly important to optimise reconstruction. Herein, the workflow and principles for the design and manufacture of PEEK implants are summarised, and a protocol for the precise design of an irregular craniofacial bone defect PEEK implant is presented. According to the method and principles, the design flow was efficient and could be standardised, and design errors could be avoided as much as possible.

“…In [43] and in [44], the fabrication of 3D-printed CCF/ PEEK composite via Laser-assisted Laminated Object Manufacturing (LA-LOM) method using prepreg sheets is reported. Chang et al [44] further improved the mechanical properties by employing hot press post-processing. The mechanical characterization over the thus prepared samples revealed ultrahigh flexural modulus and strength of 125.7 GPa and 1513.8 MPa.…”

High-performance thermoplastic polymers, such as Poly(aryl ether ketone)s (PAEK)s, can be used in various space applications due to their high mechanical properties, low density, and low outgassing properties. Polyether ether ketone (PEEK) is a thermoplastic semi-crystalline polymer belonging to the PAEKs family, which, together with its composites, has been proved to be processable via Additive Manufacturing, in particular via Fused Filament Fabrication (FFF), enabling the production of parts both on-ground and possibly even for out-of-earth. In the past years, extensive efforts have been spent on the improvement of 3D-printed polymeric structures, extending the applications of high-performance polymers from purely mechanical to functional ones. It is possible to confer new properties to polymers by mixing and blending tailored fillers and different additives (e.g., clays, NdFeB powders, magnetite, and carbon fillers). Composite and nanocomposite polymers present customized functional properties such as electrical conductivity, thermal conductivity, soft and hard magnetic properties absent or utterly different from the ones of pure polymer. In this paper, we report the state of the art on 3D-printed PEEK composites, their mechanical properties, and functionalities in view of the production of parts made of PEEK composites and nanocomposites, and their possible space applications (e.g., electromagnetic devices, magnetic shielding, thermal protection system and sensors).
