6.13 Additive Manufacturing of Multifunctional Nanocomposites and Composites (original) (raw)

Comprehensive Composite Materials II, 2018

Abstract

There is currently an increasing effort toward manufacturing of three-dimensional (3D) high-end products using additive manufacturing (AM) approach. The main limitations of the common AM techniques have been the limited choice of compatible materials combined with the nonfunctionality (e.g., electrical and thermal insulating) and relatively low mechanical strength of conventional printing materials (e.g., pure polymers). The main goal of this chapter is to review the different state-of-the-art AM methods compatible with nanocomposite and composite materials; explain the material designs, manufacturing parameters and the printed system properties, functionalities, and applications. The printable composite materials are designed with multiple constituents in order to offer a wide variety of functionalities (e.g., electrical and thermal conductivities, magnetism, piezoresistivity) to 3D structures at the nano, micro, or macroscales.
