3D printing in upcycling plastic and biomass waste to sustainable polymer blends and composites: A review

Materials & Design, Год журнала: 2023, Номер 237, С. 112558 - 112558

Опубликована: Дек. 13, 2023

Mishandling of waste plastics and biomasses is a major global concern. Every year, around 380 million tons plastic are produced, with only 9% being recycled, leading to widespread pollution. Similarly, biomass generation from agricultural forestry sectors accounts for 140 billion metric tons, in addition 2.01 municipal solid waste. This review paper addresses the gap regarding integration 3D printing, upcycling recycled plastics, utilization sustainable composites. printed parts have shown comparable mechanical properties compared virgin materials, which been further improved by biomass-derived fillers. The acknowledges that different printing parameters substantial influence on strength, ductility, crystallinity, dimensional accuracy parts. Therefore, optimizing these becomes crucial achieving performance. Moreover, incorporating reinforcing agents, stabilizers, chain extenders, compatibilizers, surface modifiers recycling presents an excellent opportunity enhance properties, thermal stability, adhesion, stability. Additionally, identifies research gaps proposes machine learning artificial intelligence enhanced process control material development, expanding possibilities this field.

Potential of recycled PLA in 3D printing: A review

Sustainable Manufacturing and Service Economics, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 3, С. 100020 - 100020

Опубликована: Янв. 1, 2024

The growing demand for sustainable materials as substitutes conventional has led to the need manufacturing practices that can effectively balance use of limited resources and reduce environmental impact while maintaining economic viability promoting human welfare. Therefore, recycled polylactic acid (rPLA) in 3D printing could be a promising solution reducing cost virgin PLA printing. However, low strength PLA-printed components remains challenge. In addition, may pose environmental, cost, social issues. it is necessary understand mechanical properties sustainability potential PLA. Hence, this study aimed provide an overview To achieve goal, followed systematic review approach analysed published academic research papers discuss degradation thermal properties, challenges opportunities recycling, aspects additively manufactured products. Studies have shown alternative if its appropriately modified controlled. Researchers used different methods upgrade PLA, such using waste blends, altering process parameters, utilising additives. implications not been adequately discussed. findings indicate majority concentrated on evaluating aspect, paying scant attention dimensions. Further required economic, impacts will assist practitioners academics thinking about adapting them obtain desired qualities.

In recent years, the creative use of polymers has been expanded as range achievable material properties and options for manufacturing post-processing continually grows. The main goal this research was to design develop a fully-functioning extrusion additive device with capability produce functionally graded high-temperature thermoplastic PEEK (polyether ether ketone) materials through manipulation microstructure during manufacturing. Five different strategies control chamber temperature crystallinity were investigated, concepts thermal introduced govern crystallisation cooling mechanics process. interaction individually deposited beads printing process investigated using scanning electron microscopy observe quantify porosity levels interlayer bonding strength, which affect quality final part. Functional testing printed parts carried out identify crystallinity, boundary layer adhesion, mechanical behaviour. Furnace annealing found be most effective methods, resulting in highest Finally, cylindrical part successfully, incorporating both low high crystalline regions.
