Abstract Scope |
Functionally graded nanocomposite materials manufactured by Material Extrusion (MEX) process have a significant potential for the industrial applications that involve the dissipation of electrostatic discharge. Furthermore, the mechanical properties of the thermoplastic materials can be increased by the addition of nanofillers, like carbon nanotubes (CNTs). This study aims to compare the mechanical and electrical properties of 3D printed specimens using three different polymers: CNT-reinforced Polylactic Acid (PLA), CNT-reinforced Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS), and CNT-reinforced Polyethylene Terephthalate Glycol (PETG). Tensile specimens are fabricated under varying parameters, including nozzle temperature, nozzle size, printing orientation, and layer thickness. Tensile testing is conducted to investigate the mechanical properties and the electrical properties using the surface resistivity measurement. By understanding the relationship between CNT reinforcement and material properties, this research could pave the way for the development of advanced materials with customized mechanical and electrical characteristics, suitable for a wide range of industrial applications. |
