FDM-based additive manufacturing of recycled thermoplastics and associated composites

“…Moreover, graphene/dichloromethane-coated specimens showed significant enhancement in ductility and surface finish. It was concluded that a balanced aspect ratio of the nanofiller in the polymer matrix gives rise to a high degree of polymer surface interaction, resulting an improvement in the mechanical and barrier properties [ 75 ].…”

Intelligent Materials and Nanomaterials Improving Physical Properties and Control Oriented on Electronic Implementations

“…The advanced manufacturing approaches include different versatile techniques (see Table 1), such as 3D printing [6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15], 4D printing [16][17][18][19][20] (3D printing adding the time variable), innovative materials to be processed in actual industrial manufacturing processes [21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28], laser manufacturing [29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37], pulsed spray techniques [38][39][40][41][42][43], electrospinning techniques [44][45][46], and plasma treatments [47][48][49][50]. In Figure 3 are illustrated some graphical elements of the above-mentioned topics.…”

“…Concerning shape morphing, AI is a solution to empower the printing [20] and could be also a tool to calibrate external stimuli for material reshaping, material self-healing, and self-assembly. In industrial manufacturing, nanomaterials [21][22][23][24][25][26] and smart materials [27,28] represent innovative products. New research topics are the AI control of fabrication processes, improving the self-adaptive parametrization of the nozzle temperature and print speed, and the AI-based synthesis of nanomaterials and smart materials having new, "intelligent" properties such as material reshaping, material self-healing, and self-assembly.…”

Biocompatible Composite Filaments Printable by Fused Deposition Modelling Technique: Selection of Tuning Parameters by Influence of Biogenic Hydroxyapatite and Graphene Nanoplatelets Ratios

“…It is important to note the crucial task of choosing a suitable main biomaterial (e.g., metallic, polymeric, ceramic, or any combination) for the synthesis of high-performance feedstock materials with tuning parameters required for the 3D-printing process of bone-like structures [ 2 , 10 , 11 ]. In a sustainable manner, attention has shifted to biodegradable polymers, among which poly(lactic acid) (PLA) of natural origin (derived from maize, beet, or sugarcane) was nominated as an effective alternative with unique physico-chemical features (e.g., thermal stability, mechanical strength, and overall non-cytotoxicity) [ 7 , 12 , 13 , 14 ] and validated by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) [ 15 , 16 ]. However, recent scientific advances have stipulated that the intrinsic brittleness and hydrophobic and inert surface features of PLA alone have to be mended properly for cells’ attachment and proliferation [ 6 , 15 , 17 , 18 ].…”
