Fracture load in double keyhole notch PLA-CuO nanocomposites manufactured via compression molding and 3D printing: An experimental and numerical study.

Polylactic acid (PLA) polymer has garnered significant attention due to its biocompatibility. The incorporation of copper oxide (CuO) nanoparticles into this polymer is expected to enhance its antibacterial, electrical, and thermal properties. This modification can potentially improve the performance of PLA in the fields of prosthetics manufacturing or printed circuit fabrication.
