Strategic Framework for Additive Manufacturing with Smart Polymer Composites: A Pathway to Net-Zero Manufacturing

Polymers, Год журнала: 2025, Номер 17(10), С. 1336 - 1336

Опубликована: Май 14, 2025

Despite manufacturing firms recognizing the potential benefits of polymer-based smart materials (PBSM) in additive (AM), their large-scale integration remains limited. As strive toward net-zero emissions (NZE) and sustainable manufacturing, integrating PBSM into AM could be pivotal for striving to achieve NZE more production. In this regard, study uses a mixed-method approach: systematic literature review (SLR) address current trends critical challenges associated with "development, processing, scalability" adoption AM. Further, analyzes 100 responses from Indian firms, employing exploratory factor analysis (EFA) develop framework. This framework is further validated by determining priority order using Combined Compromise Solution (CoCoSo) through case study. The outcome highlights that end-of-life management lack standardization are most restricting research provides valuable insights industry professionals academia, guiding strategic roadmap manufacturing. With transformation, industries can align global targets contribute India's economy goal 2070.
