Additive manufacturing (3D printing) of electrically conductive polymers and polymer nanocomposites and their applications

Additive manufacturing, or three-dimensional (3D) printing, offers a unique solution for fabricating complex geometries with high tolerances. Currently, many commercial additive manufacturing machines focus on the printing of polymers limited functionalities. However, conductive (CPs) can be processed to enable conductive, low-density, and low-cost parts myriad applications. This review summarizes relevant achievements in polymer nanocomposites, discussion advantages limitations processing these materials compared alternative traditional methods their properties. Finally, prospective applications printed are explored. • fabricated geometries. Conductive polymers. The
