We carry out a nondestructive study of injection-mold weld lines in an acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) thermoplastic electrical receptacle plate. Terahertz techniques show morphological features at the and reveal terahertz birefringence properties localized around welds, indicating frozen-in molecular orientation stress proximate to welds. Surface acoustic microscopy corroborates welds sh...

Abstract 3D-printed artefacts are becoming more common, and the effect of printing parameters on their properties is key to performance in applications. Although like build orientation raster direction well-studied layer thickness less well-known. This study determines influence mechanical polylactic acid (PLA) acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) 3D printed specimens made with fused filament ...

A new hybrid fabrication technique was introduced to manufacture composite laminates made of glass fiber, carbon and acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) as the matrix. The process utilized two different techniques: fused deposition modeling hot press molding. were produced using five layers fibers form fiber-reinforced composites (GF/ABS) fiber (GF/CF/ABS), with three fibers. fabricated subje...

The co-pyrolysis of various biomasses mixed with two types plastic waste was investigated in this study. Mixture M1 consisted 30% m/m styrene–butadiene rubber (SBR), 40% polyethylene terephthalate (PET), and polypropylene (PP). M2 PET, PP, acrylonitrile–butadiene–styrene copolymer (ABS). SBR, ABS, PP used study were from the automotive industry, while PET originated scrap bottles. Co-pyrolysis ...

A container used in contact lens cleaning requires a Pt plating weight of 1.5 mg for H₂O₂ decomposition although Pt is an expensive material. Techniques that decrease the amount of Pt are therefore needed. In this study, Pt nanoparticles instead of Pt plating film were supported on a substrate of acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene copolymer (ABS). This was achieved by the reduction of Pt ions in a...

This study investigates the characteristics of Fiber Braggs Grating (FBG) sensors with respect to their feasibility for use in additive manufactured materials under fatigue loading. was done through tensile testing both standard Acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) specimens and ABS containing FBG sensors. These were incorporated into material using two different techniques: inserting embeddin...

Acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) and polycarbonate (PC) are considered a well-known class of engineering thermoplastics due to their efficient use in automotive, 3D printing, electronics. However, improvement toughness, processability, thermal stability is achieved by mixing together ABS PC. The present study focuses on the understanding surface mechanical characterization acrylonitrile bl...
