Developing a novel technique for the fabrication of PLA-graphite composite filaments using FDM 3D printing process

Mechanical properties of additively manufactured polymeric composites using sheet lamination technique and fused deposition modeling: A review

“…21,22 The researchers primarily focused on developing composite materials by incorporating different kinds of nanofillers with base polymers to advance the performance of FDM printed parts. [23][24][25] The printed parts using these composites exhibited extraordinary mechanical, electrical, and thermal properties compared to the base polymers. Moreover, the shape, size, and distribution of the reinforcement, as well as the type of fiber-continuous or short fibers have a significant impact on the properties of composite materials.…”

“…Additionally, the research and development fields have been utilized to improve the procedure, create new materials, and adapt FDM systems to large‐scale engineering applications 21,22 . The researchers primarily focused on developing composite materials by incorporating different kinds of nanofillers with base polymers to advance the performance of FDM printed parts 23–25 . The printed parts using these composites exhibited extraordinary mechanical, electrical, and thermal properties compared to the base polymers.…”

Effect of build orientation on tribological and flexural properties of FDM-printed composite PLA parts

“…Thereby, various fillers are blended with PLA to provide higher performance in terms of durability, toughness, tribological, thermal, and electrical properties. Graphite, 24 copper, 25 aluminum, 26 CF, 27 bio-ceramics, 28 and carbon nanotube 29 are the most studied reinforcements in the PLA filaments. Kottasamy et al 30 studied copper reinforcement (25 and 80 wt.%) in the FDM-printed PLA specimens in terms of tensile, compression and flexural strengths and printing parameters are defined as 0.4 mm nozzle diameter, 210°C extruder temperature, 30 mm·s −1 printing speed, and 60°C print bed temperature.…”

Investigations on effect of pore architectures of additively manufactured novel hydroxyapatite coated PLA/Al2O3 composite scaffold for bone tissue engineering

“…Additionally, it also neutralizes the acidic product of scaffold degradation also (Arastouei et al , 2021). Several works have been done with calcium phosphate, glass, magnesium oxide, graphite and wollastonite-containing glass-ceramics for developing polymer composite for clinical applications such as bone implant and dentistry (Mohammadi Zerankeshi et al , 2022; Rezwan et al , 2006; Siqueira et al , 2017; Wang, Meng, et al , 2022; Wang, Gu, et al , 2022). The recent advancements in PLA composite with bioactive ceramics such as hydroxyapatite (HA) (Gendviliene et al , 2020; Li et al , 2021; Senatov et al , 2022; Wang et al , 2021; Wu et al , 2020), beta-tricalcium phosphate (Backes et al , 2021; Esslinger et al , 2020; Redondo, 2021; Seidenstuecker et al , 2021), calcium carbonate (Donate et al , 2020), akermanite (Arastouei et al , 2021), bio-glass (Alksne et al , 2020; Palivela et al , 2022) through FDM, has resulted in desirable osteogenicity and mechanical strength in comparison to neat polymer.…”
