Controlled directionality in 3D printing of graphite-reinforced polymer composite with enhanced mechanical properties

In a 3D printed polymer composite, orientation of the reinforcement, distribution and porosity plays a major role in its mechanical properties. Here, we demonstrate a precisely control of the orientation of the reinforcement by varying different …

Polymer Filament Extrusion Using LDPE Waste Polymer: Effect of Processing Temperature

Low-density polyethylene (LDPE) is a soft thermoplastic with extensive application as a packing material such as plastic bags, dispensing bottles, milk pouches, etc. Many LDPE bags are used and dumped in landfills every year, leading to millions of …
