AI Article Synopsis
- The study focused on improving the efficiency of Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) using polylactic acid (PLA) by experimenting with various printing and raster angles to evaluate their impact on tensile properties.
- The investigation also examined how ultraviolet (UV) curing affected the PLA, revealing that UV curing increased brittleness and decreased elongation.
- Findings indicated that both printing parameters and UV curing significantly influenced the tensile strength and modulus of PLA specimens, which is valuable for researchers aiming to enhance the sustainability of PLA and FDM technology.
Article Abstract
In order to optimize the efficiency of the Fused deposition modeling (FDM) process, this study used polylactic acid (PLA) material under different parameters (the printing angle and the raster angle) to fabricate specimens and to explore its tensile properties. The effect of the ultraviolet (UV) curing process on PLA materials was also investigated. The results showed that the printing and raster angles have a high impact on the tensile properties of PLA materials. The UV curing process enhanced the brittleness and reduced the elongation of PLA material. Different effects were observed on tensile strength and modulus of specimens printed with different parameters after UV curing. The above results will be a great help for researchers who are working to achieve sustainability of PLA materials and FDM technology.

Engineering plastics are finding widespread applications across a broad temperature spectrum, with additive manufacturing (AM) having now become commonplace for producing aerospace-grade components from polymers. However, there is limited data available on the behavior of plastic AM parts exposed to elevated temperatures. This study focuses on investigating the tensile strength, tensile modulus and Poisson's ratio of parts manufactured using fused filament fabrication (FFF) and polyetheretherketone (PEEK) plastics doped with two additives: short carbon fibers (SCFs) and multi-wall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs).

The defoliation quality of mugwort defoliation equipment is an important factor to measure the defoliation efficiency, and the tensile properties of mugwort petiole will have an impact on the defoliation quality, such as the crushing rate and the abscission rate. In order to reduce the crushing rate and improve the abscission rate during mechanical harvesting of mugwort leaves, the tensile properties of mugwort petiole need to be studied. The tensile properties of mugwort petiole are closely related to its macroscopic and microscopic physicochemical parameters.

Geopolymer concrete (GPC) offers a sustainable alternative by eliminating the need for cement, thereby reducing carbon dioxide emissions. Using durable concrete helps prevent the corrosion of reinforcing bars and reduces spalling caused by chemical attacks. This study investigates the impact of adding 5, 10, and 15% silica fumes (SF) on the mechanical and durability properties of GPC cured at 60 °C for 24 h.

Two-dimensional (2D) nanochannels have demonstrated outstanding performance for sieving specific molecules or ions, owing to their uniform molecular channel sizes and interlayer physical/chemical properties. However, controllably tuning nanochannel spaces with specific sizes and simultaneously achieving high mechanical strength remain the main challenges. In this work, the inter-sheet gallery d-spacing of graphene oxide (GO) membrane is successfully tailored with high mechanical strength via a general radical-induced polymerization strategy.
