Combined Effects of Thermal Cycling Aging and Reinforcement Content on the Ball‐On‐Disk Wear of Additively Manufactured Polylactic Acid Composites

Polymer Composites, EarlyView.
Thermal Aging and Tribological Tests of Additive Manufactured PLA Composites. ABSTRACT This study focuses on the additive manufacturing of pure polylactic acid (PLA) specimens and milled glass fiber (GF)‐filled PLA composites under thermal cycling aging and wear tests. Wear tracks have been analyzed via 3D optical profiling and SEM imaging.

Mechanical and Impact Response of Adhesively Bonded ASA/PA12 Sandwich Structures Produced by Fused Filament Fabrication

Polymer Engineering &Science, EarlyView.
Adhesively bonded ASA/PA12 FFF sandwich structures reveal that interfacial compliance governs mechanical performance. Cyanoacrylate enhances strength but induces brittle failure, while polyurethane improves ductility and impact resistance, demonstrating that adhesive properties and stacking sequence are critical design parameters for optimizing multi ...

Performance Evaluation of Compression‐Molded Recycled Mixed Plastic Fractions From Light Packaging

Polymer Engineering &Science, EarlyView.
Mixed HDPE/PP bottle‐cap waste was successfully processed through closed‐loop mechanical recycling. The recycled blends maintained stable thermal, rheological, and mechanical performance over multiple cycles, demonstrating the feasibility of valorizing heterogeneous polyolefin waste without advanced polymer separation.
