“…The C 1s XPS spectra are decomposed into four types of carbon atoms attributed to C–C, C–H at 284.8 eV, C–O–C at 286.1 eV, C–N at 286.9 eV, and CO at 287.9 eV. − After air plasma treatment, the ratio of the hydrophilic group (CO) to the hydrophobic group (C–O–C) is increased and the group of C–N remains basically unchanged. The results revealed that the hydrophilic properties of the modified PET have been improved …”

This article introduces a simple method to selectively fabricate conductive lines with good adhesion and outstanding electrical properties on the surface of the polyethylene terephthalate (PET) film with simple pre-treatment. The synthetic Pd2+ complex solution is selectively coated on the surface of PET to establish a bridging layer by an inkjet printing instrument. The bridging layer then catalyzes the electroless deposition of copper after plasma activation. The deposited copper coating and the bridging layer are characterized by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, atomic force microscopy, contact angle, and scanning electron microscopy. The results indicate that the bridging layer is activated and reformed into a network structure after air plasma treatment. The activated bridging layer effectively catalyzes the electroless deposition of copper. An even and compact surface is achieved in the as-prepared copper plating layer with 5B-level adhesion. In addition, the electrical resistivity of selectively deposited copper circuit is 2.26 μΩ/cm, which is equivalent to 1.3 times of the bulk copper.

“…However, non-conducting and easily aging of the SPF restrict its application. Recently, metallization of the insulator has attracted increasing attention [4][5][6][7]. However, the metallization of the SPF has gotten less notice compared to that of the synthetic fiber, such as polyethylene terephthalate, polyamide fiber, etc.…”

An etchant-free surface pre-treatment process for the preparation of copper/soybean protein fiber (Cu/ SPF) via electroless plating was studied. A tight, dense and continuous structure of copper coating was obtained in this process. 3-Aminopropyltrimethoxysilane molecule was successfully grafted onto the SPF via a simple coupling reaction. In addition, Au, Ag or Pd nanoparticles were immobilized on the SPF substrate as catalyst sites for electroless plating. All the copper coatings via different metal activation were firmly adhered to the SPF substrate, as determined by an adhesive scotch Ò -tape test. The measurement of the electrothermal property of the Cu/SPF composites was carried out by a home-made direct current circuit. The composite from Ag activation process held a relatively higher rated current and a lower melting point, which indicated that it was more suitable to be made as the fuse wire than the composites from Au or Pd activation process.

“…The photocatalytic properties of these composites will be tested in systems for the purification of polluted water using sunlight as a radiation source in subsequent research. These composites offer a novelty in the field of polluted-water purification in comparison with previous works of 3D printing monoliths containing TiO 2 by paste extrusion technology [ 26 ] or by creating TiO 2 films on the polymer surface [ 27 , 28 , 29 ]. Additionally, 3D printing of the photocatalytic composite material allows the fabrication of new static mixers with complex geometries.…”

This paper investigates the possibility of integrating the combination of nanofillers, titanium dioxide (TiO2) and carbon nanotubes (CNT) into the thermoplastic polymer matrix. This combination of fillers can possibly modify the physico-chemical properties of composites compared to the pure polymer matrix. The composites were blended using the extrusion method. The composite filament produced was used to manufacture static mixers on a 3D printer using the additive manufacturing technology fused filament fabrication (FFF). The aim of this work was to inspect the influence of the filler addition on the thermal and mechanical properties of glycol-modified polyethylene terephthalate (PET-G) polymer composites. The fillers were added to the PET-G polymer matrix in several ratios. Tensile test results showed an increase in the overall strength and decrease in the elongation at break of the material. Melt flow rate (MFR) showed a decrease in the viscosity with the initial filler addition and reaching a plateau after 2 wt% filler was added. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) showed minor changes in the thermal properties. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) results showed homogenous distribution of the filler in the matrix and strong filler–matrix adhesion. The results indicate suitable properties of new functional composites for the 3D printing of static mixers for application in tubular reactors.
