Characterisation of moisture sorption of materials used in 3D printing

  • 1. LU MMI

Description

Investigation of environmental effects on properties of polymers and 3D printed structures was performed. The research methodology of moisture sorption and swelling processes was developed and implemented. Full-scale experiments were performed on 12 materials. Degradation of filaments’ mechanical properties under moisture effect was evaluated. A complex analysis of the results was performed, and sorption characteristics of filaments were defined.

Notes

This research was supported by ERDF Project No. 1.1.1.1/19/A/031 "OPTITOOL, Decision Tool for Optimal Design of Smart Polymer Nanocomposite Structures Produced by 3D Printing".
