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 were manufactured and, in order to compare the effect of the partial oxidized...
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 interface between conventional...
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 a mathematical model of the temperature...
Highlights • 3D printing composites with high volume fraction continuous basalt fiber have been successfully prepared by FDM method. • The experimental results of Young’s modulus were well supported by ROM, but the tensile strength didn’t exactly match ROM. • High...
This research paper reports the composite adhesion behavior of thermal treated recycled carbon fibers through contact angle and surface energy measurements and its results compared with virgin carbon fibers. Virgin and recycled carbon fiber composites in a hybrid...
