Creation of 3D-products using carbon nanostructures and 3D-printing technologies (FDM, CJP, SLA, SLS)

Abstract

The article discusses methods for obtaining carbon nanostructures (CNS), as well as their use to create three-dimensional (3D) products using FDM, CJP, SLA, SLS technologies. The process of manufacturing consumables for 3D printing technologies (FDM, CJP, SLA, SLS) for creating new composite 3D products based on carbon nanostructures is described. The paper contains a detailed description of which methods of CNS synthesis are more productive and how they allow you to guarantee the production of one or another type of CNS. The paper analyzes the existing 3D printing technologies using CNS, developed a scheme for the full cycle of creating a 3D product containing CNS, taking into account various methods for the synthesis of CNS with the transformation of graphite or other carbon-containing material. It also describes the process of creating composite coils for FDM 3D printing from nanocomposite filaments (rigid polymer-CNS) based on a rigid polymer, which have undergone the process of preparation in a special mixer. The process of preparing consumables and printing a 3D volumetric product using FDM, CJP, SLA, SLS technologies using CNS is described. An overview of consumables for 3D products of FDM technology is presented. The analysis of composite 3D products (ceramic-CNS, rigid polymer-CNS) obtained by FDM and CJP technology was carried out. The paper also describes the three most productive methods for the synthesis of CNS: plasma-chemical synthesis in gas or liquid and pyrolytic method. These synthesis methods make it possible to guarantee the production of a certain type of CNS and have a high quality of the obtained nanoproducts. Various types of CNS are described, including soluble (fullerenes and fullerene-like structures) and insoluble nanostructures (graphenes, carbon nanotubes, carbon nanofibers, nanocomposites, etc.).
