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 …

3D Printing of a Biocompatible Nanoink Derived from Waste Animal Bones

Direct ink writing (DIW) additive manufacturing is a versatile 3D printing technique for a broad range of materials. DIW can print a variety of materials provided that the ink is well-engineered with appropriate rheological properties. DIW could be …
