“…As mentioned earlier, commercially available PET filaments are made from recycled PET and glycol-modified PET (PET-G). Kichloo et al [132] revealed that adding 20 wt% of carbon fiber into PET-G matrix resulted in a maximum of 43.7% and 25% in tensile and flexural strength, respectively, for honeycomb pattern. However, carbon fiber reinforced PET-G shows an increase in melt viscosity and a weaker interlayer bonding, resulting in a reduction of its mechanical properties compared to neat PET-G printed parts [133].…”

In recent years, additive manufacturing (AM), known as "3D printing", has experienced exceptional growth thanks to the development of mechatronics and materials science. Fused filament deposition (FDM) manufacturing is the most widely used technique in the field of AM, due to low operating and material costs. However, the materials commonly used for this technology are virgin thermoplastics. It is worth noting a considerable amount of waste exists due to failed print and disposable prototypes. In this regard, using green and sustainable materials is essential to limit the impact on the environment. The recycled, bio-based, and blended recycled materials are therefore a potential approach for 3D printing. In contrast, the lack of understanding of the mechanism of interlayer adhesion and the degradation of materials for FDM printing has posed a major challenge for these green materials. This paper provides an overview of the FDM technique and material requirements for 3D printing filaments. The main objective is to highlight the advantages and disadvantages of using recycled, bio-based, and blended materials based on thermoplastics for 3D printing filaments. In this work, solutions to improve the mechanical properties of 3D printing parts before, during, and after the printing process are pointed out. This paper provides an overview on choosing which materials and solutions depend on the specific application purposes. Moreover, research gaps and opportunities are mentioned in the discussion and conclusions sections of this study.

The advent of additive manufacturing has brought a paradigm shift in many engineering applications involving polymer composites. The current study aims at integrating artificial neural network (ANN) with experimentation to assess the wear properties of glycol‐modified polyethylene terephthalate (PETG) composites reinforced with organically modified montmorillonite (OMMT) nanoclay (1%, 3%, and 5% weight percentages). The specimens are fabricated using fused deposition modeling technology. The proposed composites are compounded and developed using a single screw extruder with a diameter of 1.75 mm. As per ASTM G99 standard, the tribological characteristics were investigated using sliding wear with the dry pin on disc arrangement. The data points owing to the wear properties of PETG/OMMT nanocomposites are collected with the aid of the experimentation, which is then used to train the ANN model using Levenberg– Marquardt backward propagation algorithm. The experimental results show that adding OMMT nanoclay at a 3% weight percentage improves the wear properties of the composites compared to virgin PETG. A scanning electron microscope study of the wear mechanism reveals that adding OMMT nanoclay to the proposed composites results in mild wear as opposed to heavy wear in the case of virgin PETG. The ANN model developed to predict the tribological performance of PETG/OMMT facilitates better predictability with 99.6% accuracy, thereby reducing the requirement of expensive experimentation and analysis. The proposed composites may be applicable in the prosthetic, aerospace and automobile industries.

“…1 The investigations performed on 3D printing of thermoplastic composites like polyethylene terephthalate glycol (PETG) and polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) for mechanical, tribological, and non-structural 4D applications highlighted the biomedical properties of such commercial use plastics for manufacturing biosensors. 2,3 To monitor the temperature of 3D printed components, hybrid additive manufacturing (AM) has been considered an effective approach. 4 For biosensing applications, the properties of nanocarbon reinforced NiO and MnO 2 electrode materials have been studied as a transducer to generate electrical energy from the oxidation of glucose.…”

Some studies have been reported in the recent past on smart sensors for non-enzymatic glucose sensing applications. Nevertheless, little has been reported on the in-house development of low-cost 3D printed smart biomedical sensors with tunable sensitivity. This study reports investigations on the in-house, low-cost fabrication of polyvinyl difluoride (PVDF) matrix-based 3D printed tunable non-enzymatic glucose sensors. For fabrication of smart sensors, Cu (4%) doped ZnO nanoparticles have been reinforced (in different weight proportions (wt%) in PVDF matrix through melt processing. The results suggest that 4% reinforcement (of 4% Cu doped-ZnO), processed at 190°C, 40 rpm screw speed on twin screw extrusion (TSE) followed by post heat treatment (HT) at 60°C are the best settings for fabrication of feedstock filaments (for bio-sensor 3D printing). Finally, a PVDF-based sensor to support bioreceptor and transducer requirements has been successfully prepared (with 4D properties (i.e. one-way programing feature), optical, morphological, bond strength, piezoelectric and mechanical characteristics). The 3D printed electro-active sensor, (of selected composition) resulted in acceptable mechanical, piezoelectric, and dielectric properties (modulus of toughness (MoT) 1.46 MPa, Young’s modulus (YM) 1221.7 MPa, piezoelectric coefficient 19.3pC/N and dielectric constant 6.5). The results have been supported by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), current-voltage-resistance (I-V-R), and Fourier transformed infrared (FTIR) analysis.
