This study aims to assess the viability of nanocomposites in fused filament fabrication. Polylactide/organo-modified layered silicate materials have been studied terms structure and properties evolution through whole manufacturing chain, for thermomechanical optimisation. The method included optimisation by composite formulation additive process experimental designs. A competition between flow ...

Polymers that allow the adjustment of Shape-Memory properties by the variation of physical parameters during programming are advantageous compared with their counterparts requiring synthesis of new material. Here, we explored the influence of hydrolytic (physical) aging on the Shape-Memory properties of the polyetherurethane system Estane, programmed in repeated thermomechanical cycles under to...

The texture of cold-rolled and heat-treated TiNi sheet has been measured and designated as {110}(1i0)p. This material has been used in thermal fatigue tests during and after which the anisotropy and development of several thermomechanical properties, such as transformation temperatures and strains, have been measured. Furthermore, the resulting changes of texture after thermal fatigue are prese...
