From Layer to Interface: Enhancing Strength in Biodegradable Bicomponent 3D Printed Parts

open access: yesMacromolecular Symposia, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Bicomponent printing with biodegradable materials represents a promising approach for developing sustainable structures. UltraFuse PLA Blue and PLA/PHA Shining Silver were used to print samples with different interfaces: “T”, “2T”, “dovetail”, and “double dovetail”. Tensile testing combined with fracture imaging and surface topography analysis
