Towards sustainability in 3D printing of thermoplastic composites: Evaluation of recycled carbon fibers as reinforcing agent for FDM filament production and 3D printing
Abstract The use of recycled Carbon Fibers (rCFs) into polylactic acid (PLA) matrix to produce new reinforced 3D printing filaments was assessed. Filaments containing 5 and 10 wt% of rCFs […]
Wettability of carbon nanotube-grafted carbon fibers and their interfacial properties in polypropylene thermoplastic composite
Abstract The interfacial properties of carbon fiber (CF) reinforced thermoplastic composites depend strongly on the wettability and surface characteristics of the reinforcing fibers, and their compatibility with a chosen matrix. […]
The effect of temperature field on the characteristics of carbon fiber reinforced thermoplastic composites in the laying and shaping process

Abstract This work investigates the temperature field during the automated layup of carbon fiber reinforced thermoplastic composites. The heat transfer boundary conditions of the layup process are determined by establishing […]
