“…56 While, in the case of AC-PETG30, due to the higher crystallinity of the compound compared to hydrochar as evidenced by the XRD analysis, a more significant interfacial adhesion between the filler and matrix can occur, which further reinforces the mechanical strength of the composite. 57 Finally, the smaller cracks and deformation observed in the SEM images of the AC-PETG30 sample also suggest their higher mechanical strength. Increasing the weight % of hydrochar and activated carbon from 30% (HC/AC-PETG30 samples) to 50% (HC/AC-PETG50 samples) in PETG does not seem to significantly alter the mechanical strength of the material possibly.…”

Fused deposition modeling (FDM) 3D printing not only offers numerous advantages over traditional manufacturing methods but also produces a significant amount of waste in the form of failed prints, support structures, and unused filaments. Thus, there is a need to develop novel and sustainable materials to replace conventional FDM filaments. We report a unique biomass (waste leaves)-derived activated carbon that can be infused with polyethylene terephthalate glycol (PETG) to fabricate a sustainable, cost-effective, and eco-friendly class of 3D printing filaments that enable 3D printing of parts with superior mechanical properties. We investigate the key parameters that influence the chemical, morphological, thermal, surface, and mechanical properties of our biomass-derived hydrochar, activated carbon, and PETG composite filaments. The resulting samples are characterized using Fourier transform infrared spectroscope, X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscope, contact angle meter, and a universal testing machine. We have observed that while hydrochar can be incorporated with PETG to create biomass-derived filaments, incorporating activated carbon with PETG results in superior filaments. These composites can incorporate an extremely high biomass filler weight percentage while enhancing mechanical strength by over 30%. Our biomass-derived PETG composites were also thermally stable and more hydrophilic than the pure PETG samples. We analyze the mechanism by which activated carbon incorporation increases the PETG composites’ mechanical strength with both physical and chemical techniques. We also demonstrate successful FDM 3D printing of personalized anatomical models and porous cylindrical filter mesh using our biomass-derived PETG composite filaments. Implementing such sustainable principles in the 3D printing industry has the potential to transform it into a restorative and sustainable system while simultaneously minimizing environmental pollution and waste.

“…Nowadays, FDM 3D-printed articles are also used for automotive, biomedical, aerospace, and commodity application. [190][191][192] Polyolefins are used widely for many decades as they possess superior properties such as good mechanical strength, chemical resistance, etc. [193,194] Due to modernization and automation, the requirement of th general designs or shapes is becoming limited because it does not fulfill the end-use.…”

Polyolefins are the largest class of commercially available synthetic polymers that are extensively used in a variety of applications from commodities to engineering owing to their low cost of production, good physico‐mechanical properties, light weight, good processability, and recyclability. Compared to conventional molding techniques, fused deposition modeling (FDM)‐based 3D printing is a smart manufacturing technology for thermoplastics due to its low cost, ease of production of complex geometrical parts, rapid prototyping, and scalable customization. FDM 3D printing can be an ideal manufacturing technology for polyolefins to manufacture various complex parts. However, FDM 3D‐printing of polyolefins is challenged bycritical printing problems like high warpage, dimensional inaccuracies, poor bed adhesion, and poor layer‐to‐layer adhesion. In this review, a fundamental understanding of polyolefins and their FDM 3D‐printing process is established, and the recent progress of FDM 3D printing of polyolefins is summarized. Furthermore, strategies to overcome warpage and to improve mechanical strength of the 3D‐printed polyolefins are provided. Finally, future prospectives of FDM 3D‐printing of polyolefins are critically discussed to inspire prospective research in this field. It is believed that this review article can be tremendously useful for research work related to FDM of polyolefin‐based materials.

[89][90][91][92][93][94][95] The formation of strong interphase between matrix and filler plays a determining role in the matrix's electrical properties. Choosing a proper fabrication method is critical as a homogeneous filler distribution will be obtained during the fabrication process.…”

Flexible and optically transparent electrodes (TEs) are essential for most state-of-art organic optoelectronic devices (OOED). The demand for bendable electronic devices with aesthetic impact and multi-functionality has driven the rapid development of flexible TEs with improved optoelectrical and mechanical properties. However, conventional rigid TEs, that is, indium tin oxide (ITO) coated glass substrate (ITO/glass), cannot match smart devices' requirements in unique fields, like electrochromic devices, electronic skins, and wearable electronics, foldable displays, smart windows, and solar cells. To substitute extensively used ITO/glass electrodes has been endeavored because of the increasing price and inherently brittle ITO and glass substrate behavior. Emerging TEs based on the combination of the polymers substrate and conducting fillers like graphene, carbon nanotubes, metal nanowires, and transparent conducting oxides are bendable, lightweight, and inexpensive. They have shown substantial prospects to be used in the devices mentioned above. With each tiny development in these emerging TE's, such as outstanding optoelectrical and mechanical features in flexible electrodes, they become more suitable for practical applications in miscellaneous bendable devices. This review summarizes the comprehensive overview of the modern alternative flexible TEs and their implementation in bendable and stretchable devices.
