Article Synopsis
- The study focused on using silicon nitride (SiN) as an additive to improve the properties of high-density polyethylene (HDPE) through material extrusion (MEX) 3D printing, testing various concentrations of SiN from 0.0 to 10.0 wt. %.
- Following the preparation of six composite types, a series of comprehensive tests were conducted, including thermal, mechanical, and morphological analyses, to evaluate the performance of the composites.
- The results showed that the HDPE/SiN composite with 6.0 wt. % exhibited the best enhancements in mechanical properties, proving SiN to be a promising reinforcing additive for industrial 3D printing applications. *
