A fused deposition modeling method was used in this research to investigate the possibility of improving mechanical properties poly(lactic acid) by changing thermal conditions printing process. Sample models were prepared while varying a wide range parameters, including bed temperature, melt and raster angle. Certain samples also thermally treated annealing. The materials subjected detailed thermomechanical analysis (differential scanning calorimetry, dynamic analysis, heat deflection...
The research presented in this article discusses the subject of poly(lactic acid) (PLA) modification via reactive mixing with poly(butylene adipate-co-terephthalate) (PBAT) copolymer for 3D printing applications. Filaments suitable fused deposition modeling were prepared from blends PLA containing 10, 20, and 30% by weight PBAT. Mechanical testing clearly indicated that blending PBAT effectively increases impact strength PLA, an initial value approximately 30 J/m to more than 700 optimized...
The physical properties of biocarbon vary widely with the biomass used, and temperature duration pyrolysis. This study identifies effects feedstock characteristics pyrolysis conditions on production corresponding for industrial applications. For coffee chaff soy hulls, ash content carbon increased duration. Ash thermal conductivity specific heat, decreased electrical conductivity. Change in surface area was dependent type feedstock. Increased corresponded graphitization stability...
