Additive Manufacturing of Polymer-Based Composite Materials: Materials, Processes, and Properties

Additive Manufacturing of Polymer-based Composite Materials: Materials, Processes, and Properties presents the latest developments in additive manufacturing of polymer matrix composites and illustrates the large range of composite materials that can be obtained. Different technologies are presented with their own specificities such as: fused filament fabrication, wet fiber placement, stereolithography, and direct-ink-writing. Composites with chopped or continuous reinforcement, with synthetic or natural fibers, with thermoplastic or thermoset resin are compared and described in detail. Their thermal, physical, electrical, and mechanical properties are discussed.The book is dedicated to professionals involved in engineering design and production, as well as industrial communities who want to gain in-depth knowledge in the field of 3D printed composites. Provides an overview of different methods for additive manufacturing of polymer-based matrix compositesCovers long and short fiber-based composites and corresponding application examplesAddresses the development and properties of a wide range of matrices (thermoplastics, thermosets), and fibers (natural and synthetic) in a user-specified orientation, continuous or random organization and hierarchical structuresPresents sustainability and structural reliability of composite structuresDisplays a careful balance between materials science and technology, providing a detailed understanding of how composites’ properties, processing, performance, and structure are interrelated INDICE: 1.
