Abstract
The aim of the current research is to develop a 3D printable PETG composite filament reinforced with pineapple fiber particulate (PALF-P). These filaments were produced using an extrusion technique, incorporating varying weight percentages (1.5%, 2.5%, 5%, and 7.5%) of PALF particles treated with a 5% NaOH chemical solution. Analytical techniques like Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) and X-ray Diffraction (XRD) evaluated the impact of this treatment. A comprehensive study of the resulting composite filaments’ mechanical and physical attributes revealed improved cohesion between the PETG matrix and PALF particles, enhancing the overall properties. Specifically, the incorporation of 5 wt % PALF particles showed the highest ultimate tensile strength (53.54 ± 2.7 MPa), Young’s modulus (1443 ± 72.22 MPa), and load-bearing capacity (104.97 ± 5.25 N). In contrast, 2.5% of particles had the least noticeable effect on mechanical properties. Moreover, the developed sustainable composite filament showed significant promise in advancing bio-composites through additive manufacturing, potentially contributing to sustainable manufacturing practices.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Reinforced Plastics and Composites is a fully peer-reviewed international journal that publishes original research and review articles on a broad range of today''s reinforced plastics and composites including areas in:
Constituent materials: matrix materials, reinforcements and coatings.
Properties and performance: The results of testing, predictive models, and in-service evaluation of a wide range of materials are published, providing the reader with extensive properties data for reference.
Analysis and design: Frequency reports on these subjects inform the reader of analytical techniques, design processes and the many design options available in materials composition.
Processing and fabrication: There is increased interest among materials engineers in cost-effective processing.
Applications: Reports on new materials R&D are often related to the service requirements of specific application areas, such as automotive, marine, construction and aviation.
Reports on special topics are regularly included such as recycling, environmental effects, novel materials, computer-aided design, predictive modelling, and "smart" composite materials.
"The articles in the Journal of Reinforced Plastics and Products are must reading for engineers in industry and for researchers working on leading edge problems" Professor Emeritus Stephen W Tsai National Sun Yat-sen University, Taiwan
