The effects of two types carbon nanotubes, namely multiwall (MWCNT) and single-wall (SWCNT) nanotube, on the thermal mechanical properties acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS) nanocomposites, have been investigated. ABS filled-CNT nanocomposites with various filler loadings 5–10 wt% were properly produced by a solvent-free process in blend compounding at 190 °C. Compression moulded plates extr...

The field of polymer-based nanoscience has always been significant interest in the search for polymer/carbon nanotube (CNT) nanocomposites with optimized material properties new applications. Herein, it is demonstrated that data collected from online literature can be used to develop an efficient deep learning model design acrylonitrile–butadiene–styrene (ABS)/CNT binary composites. A dataset 1...

Fused filament fabrication (FFF) is a common additive manufacturing method for polymers that has been widely adopted due to its low cost and ease of use. However, FFF remains limited in high performance applications the weak mechanical properties welds between printed fibers, including parts manufactured from acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS). This study uses atomic force microscopy (AFM) o...

The aim of this work is to investigate the performance variability post-industrial (PIR) and post-consumer recycled (PCR) polycarbonate acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (PC-ABS). In addition, necessary testing methodology for understanding polymer variation in polymers are established. thermal expansion behaviour all tested material were found be similar FT-IR revealed no conclusive evidence oxi...

In this paper the effect of a novel bifunctional additive [cyclic butylene terephthalate (CBT)] was investigated on the rheological, curing and mechanical properties of natural rubber (NR), styrene butadiene rubber (SBR), oil extended styrene butadiene rubber (oSBR), acrylonitrile butadiene rubber (NBR) and ethylene propylene diene rubber (EPDM). Results showed, that CBT acted as an effective l...

This study outline the procedure of filament fabrication for fused deposition modelling (FDM), based upon rheological, mechanical, thermal, wear and morphological characterization as a case acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) - melamine formaldehyde (MF) composite. It has been ascertained that with increase in proportion MF ABS, viscosity is improved melt flow index (MFI) reduced significantl...

Paper presents knowledge about types of test in area of materials properties of selected methods of rapid prototyping technologies. In today used rapid prototyping technologies for production of models and final parts are used materials in initial state as solid, liquid or powder material structure. In solid state are used various forms such as pellets, wire or laminates. Basic range materials ...

It is proposed that by using computing analysis software and 3D fabrication techniques, low cost plastic trumpet bells could be produced for different music genres by altering their timbres. These may be attached to the trumpet in a similar manner to that of a tuning bell trumpet. The novel bells are designed to eliminate or enhance particular harmonics to change their brightness by altering th...

A visualization facility has been developed at Stanford University in order to study flow in a turbulent combustion boundary layer. The motivation for the facility arises from recent studies of fast burning fuels for hybrid rocket propulsion where droplet lift-off from the melting fuel surface is the dominant mass transfer mechanism. The facility, shown in Figure 1, has been used to image the c...
