Polylactic acid/kenaf cellulose biocomposite filaments for melt extrusion based-3D printing

Process Monitoring of Extrusion Based 3D Printing via Laser Scanning

Extrusion based 3D Printing (E3DP) is an Additive Manufacturing (AM) technique that extrudes thermoplastic polymer in order to build up components using a layerwise approach. Hereby, AM typically requires long production times in comparison to mass production processes such as Injection Molding. Failures during the AM process are often only noticed after build completion and frequently lead to ...

A viscoelastic response with a finite yield stress is required for filament patterning.[3] The shear-induced alignment of anisotropic building blocks, including carbon fibers,[4,5] silicon carbide whiskers,[5] alumina platelets,[3] and nanofibrillated cellulose (NFC)[6]...

Biocomposite from polylactic acid and lignocellulosic fibers: structure-property correlations.

PLA biocomposites were prepared using three corn cob fractions and a wood fiber as reference. The composites were characterized by tensile testing, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and polarization optical microscopy (POM). Micromechanical deformation processes were followed by acoustic emission measurements. The different strength of the components was proved by direct measurements. Two cons...

Hot Melt Extrusion Technique

Various approaches have been adopted to address this including preparation of solid dispersions and solid solutions. Hot-melt extrusion is an efficient technology for producing solid molecular dispersions with considerable advantages over solvent-based processes such as spray drying and co-precipitation. Hot-melt extrusion has been demonstrated to provide sustained, modified, and targeted drug ...
