Among these parameters, the infill pattern holds significant importance as it directly influences the structural integrity, production time, and material usage efficiency of the printed object. This research focuses on identifying the most suitable 3D printing infill pattern process parameters for thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) material, specifically for applications in pipeline construction. The criteria considered for process parameter selection include printing time, ultimate tensile strength, ultimate flexural strength, and surface defect minimization. Various infill patterns, including hexagonal, line, solid, triangle (35°), triangle (55°), and line patterns, are evaluated as alternatives. Utilizing the multi-criteria decision-making technique known as analytical hierarchy process (AHP), a systematic approach is employed to determine the optimal printing pattern. The findings of this study reveal that the hexagonal infill pattern outperforms other selected patterns in terms of meeting the criteria set forth for pipeline construction using TPU material.

Then, the CMC was converted to a suitable hydrogel through in situ graft copolymerization of acrylic acid and vinyl acetate in the presence of methylene bisacrylamide as a crosslinker. The various factors that affect hydrogel synthesis, such as the amounts of CMC, monomers, initiator, and crosslinker, were evaluated. In the optimized formulation, the weight ratio of monomers to CMC is 7, the molar ratio of monomers to each other is 1, and the crosslinker is used as 3 molar percent of monomers. The products were characterized using Fourier transform infrared, thermal gravimetric analysis, and scanning electron microscope analyses. The swelling behavior of the synthesized hydrogels was evaluated in different environments, such as distilled water, tap water, salt water, and different pH levels. The swelling ratio increases with an increase in pH level. Between the synthesized hydrogels, the best one was selected for slow-release fertilizer production and loaded with 20-20-20 fertilizer (NPK), and the release behavior was evaluated. In an alkaline pH, there was a long time for NPK release within a slow-release medium and even after 361 h, the release process was continued.

For FTIR, no changes are found that indicate modifications in the chemical structure but in the physical properties of the materials. A study based on XRD shows that during the first 72 hr, changes in crystal size were observed, and consequently, there was a loss of transparency.
