Inanimate surfaces serve as a permanent reservoir for infectious microorganisms, which is a growing problem in areas in everyday life. Coating of surfaces with inorganic antimicrobials, such as copper, can contribute to reduce the adherence and growth of microorganisms. The use of a DC operated air plasma jet for the deposition of copper thin films on acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) subst...

Patient-specific vascular replicas are essential to the simulation of endovascular treatment or for vascular research. The inside of silicone replica is required to be smooth for manipulating interventional devices without resistance. In this report, we demonstrate the fabrication of patient-specific silicone vessels with a low-cost desktop 3D printer. We show that the surface of an acrylonitri...

Abstract Additive manufacturing of acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) was investigated based on statistical analysis via an optimization method. The present article discusses the influence layer thickness (LT), infill percentage (IP), and contours number (C) maximum failure load elastic modulus final product ABS. ABS is a low-cost thermoplastic that can be easily fabricated, thermoformed, ma...

Composite polymer/ceramic filaments for material extrusion-based fused filament fabrication additive manufacturing, using barium strontium titanium oxide (BST) ceramics and acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) thermoplastics were produced; their dielectric physical properties have been characterised the first time. The properties, relative permittivity (εr), quality factor (Q×f) loss (tanδ) me...

Owing to the huge demand and dependency of industry on lightweight superior mechanical properties products as well components, materials like CF-ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene reinforced with carbon fibers) PC-ABS polycarbonate) have gained utmost importance in current scenario. The present research this paper focuses finding properties, mainly tensile, compression, flexural both above-sa...

Acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS plastic) is one of the most widely used thermoplastic resins for electroplating. In electroplating, a glossing metallic layer coated on ABS plastic surface. Yet, electroplated coating has poor adhesion to plastics. Thus, polymer producers strive develop more adhesive electroplating grades plastic. Unfortunately, there no reliable method quantify chemistry-in...

Household wastewater is a problem, especially in areas with dispersed settlement where there no collection system or treatment plant. In this case, it necessary to build local onsite This paper an attempt analyse the possibility of using recycled shredded ABS plastic (acrylonitrile butadiene styrene) as packing media experimental vertical flow filter for use on-site plants. Studies have shown t...

Most widespread materials in Additive Manufacturing are PLA (PolyLactic Acid) and ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene), which dissimilar terms of printing abilities mechanical properties. material originates from renewable resources making it better solution for environment comparison with petroleum-based material. Addition second-phase particles to polymer matrix may have a substantial influe...
