The thermoplastic materials such as acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS) and Nylon have large applications in three-dimensional printing of functional/non-functional prototypes. Usually these polymer-based prototypes are lacking in thermal and electrical conductivity. Graphene (Gr) has attracted impressive enthusiasm in the recent past due to its natural mechanical, thermal, and electrical pro...

A visualization facility has been developed at Stanford University in order to study flow in a turbulent combustion boundary layer. The motivation for the facility arises from recent studies of fast burning fuels for hybrid rocket propulsion where droplet lift-off from the melting fuel surface is the dominant mass transfer mechanism. The facility, shown in Figure 1, has been used to image the c...

In this paper we look at Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS) and Polyethylene Terephthalate Glycol (PETG), chosen for their low cost, high strength temperature resistance. This study evaluates the bending fatigue performance of Material extrusion (MEX) ABS PETG cantilever beams compares properties while varying a printing parameter under thermal loads. The study, using custom building orienta...

In this research, on the basis of the control of electrostatic charge, a laboratory-scale triboelectrostatic separation for separating polypropylene (PP) and acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS) in seaweed-drying net frame plastic wastes has been carried out. High density polyethylene (HDPE) in a charger material selection tests using a vertical-reciprocation system was found to be the most ef...

Polybutylene succinate (PBS) has become a potential candidate, similar to polypropylene (PP) and acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS), for use as an organic plastic material due to its outstanding mechanical properties as well as high thermal deformation characteristics. A new composition of silica aerogel nanoparticles extracted from rice waste with PBS is proposed for use as a dielectric (εr...

Plastics are one of the most important technical materials at present, yet they associated with a whole series environmental problems such as micro-and nanoplastics or their plasticizers, which have become increasingly relevant in recent years. While there many studies that focus on microplastics (MPs) introduced into human body through commercially produced food, nearly none consider MPs we in...

This work develops a novel homogenization-based computational strategy for predicting the mechanical properties of fused filament fabricated parts by characterizing component according to different printing patterns used. The anisotropic constitutive material models obtained each pattern allows accurate prediction behavior entire component. model is validated against experiments with samples ma...
