Abstract
ABSTRACT Nanofillers are widely used to enhance the properties of polymeric materials due to their small particle size and high specific surface area. In this study, functionalized silica‐based Janus nanosheets (JNS) grafted with styrene–acrylonitrile copolymer (SAN) chains on one side and epoxy groups on the opposite side have been synthesized, termed SAN‐Silica‐epoxy JNS, and incorporated as modifiers into the acrylonitrile‐butadiene‐styrene copolymer/polyethylene terephthalate (ABS/PET) blends for fused deposition modeling (FDM) applications via melt‐extrusion processing. Compared to the unmodified blends, ABS/PET blends with the addition of only 0.5 phr SAN‐silica‐epoxy JNS exhibited significant property enhancements, where the melt flow rate was increased by 47.9%, layer adhesion was enhanced by 115.7%, and warpage degree was reduced by 48.8%. Furthermore, the mechanical performance of ABS/PET blends was endowed with simultaneous optimization, such as a 74% increase in impact strength and a 13% increase in tensile strength. This work introduces a strategy for developing 3D printing materials that combine excellent 3D printing processability with superior mechanical performance through interfacial compatibility optimization and nanofiller reinforcement.
期刊介绍:
For more than 30 years, Polymer Engineering & Science has been one of the most highly regarded journals in the field, serving as a forum for authors of treatises on the cutting edge of polymer science and technology. The importance of PE&S is underscored by the frequent rate at which its articles are cited, especially by other publications - literally thousand of times a year. Engineers, researchers, technicians, and academicians worldwide are looking to PE&S for the valuable information they need. There are special issues compiled by distinguished guest editors. These contain proceedings of symposia on such diverse topics as polyblends, mechanics of plastics and polymer welding.
