Effect of extrusion and fused filament fabrication processing parameters of recycled poly(ethylene terephthalate) on the crystallinity and mechanical properties

Abstract: The production of plastic has grown exponentially over the past few decades and with it the amount of plastic waste leaking in the environment, where it fragments into micro-and nanoplastics. This problematic situation stresses the need for increased plastic collection, recycling and reuse rates. Extrusion-based additive manufacturing (AM) and especially fused filament fabrication (FFF) offer an efficient and effective method to reuse and upcycle recycled plastic. This study focuses on poly(ethylene terephthal… Show more

“…A second heating method was performed at 300 °C at a similar scanning rate. The degree of crystallinity (X c ) was calculated from the peak area of the DSC thermograms [ 17 ]. The mechanical properties were evaluated using an Instron 5567 material testing system at 25 °C, as per the ASTM D638-96 type II requirements [ 18 ].…”

“…Plastic filaments using amorphous polymers are widely applied to facilitate additive manufacturing. Mechanical strength is acquired from semi-crystalline polymers, polyether ether ketone (PEEK) [ 10 , 11 ], an advanced engineering plastic, and PET [ 12 , 13 , 14 ]; these materials are, therefore, essential in medical, chemical, aerospace, and electronics applications using fused filament fabrication. PEEK is a thermoplastic biomaterial with good thermal resistance, stability, and mechanical properties.…”

“…However, the high cost of PEEK filament for 3D printing makes this material suitable only for valuable applications in bio-implants. Previous studies explored the recycling of polymeric materials for the production of filaments in 3D printing, such as PET, ABS, PLA, polypropylene (PP), nylon (PA), polystyrene (PS), polyethylene (PE), acrylonitrile styrene acrylate (ASA), polyvinylchloride (PVC), high-impact polystyrene (HiPS), polycarbonate, high-density and low-density polyethylene (HDPE, LDPE), and thermoplastic polyurethanes (TPU) [ 12 , 15 , 16 , 17 ]. The recycling phases for filament fabrication involve cleaning, grinding, melting, extrusion, and measuring.…”
