Enhanced Performance 3‐D Printed PLA Parts through a Photo‐Initiator Mediated UV‐Curing

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
This solvent‐free method enhances 3‐D printed PLA parts by incorporating photo‐initiators during fabrication, followed by up to 3 min UV treatment. This process improves PLA's mechanical properties, including a 64% increase in tensile strength, while addressing weak interlayer bonding and outdoor sensitivity.

Dielectric Barrier Discharge Electrothermal Heating and Additive Manufacturing of Thermoset Parts

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
3D printing of thermosets is difficult due to the low yield stress of most uncured resins. However, by locally heating resin using a non‐equilibrium plasma, layers can be partially cured and printing enabled. Plasma application to a liquid epoxy/carbon nanotube composite is observed to cause rapid surface heating and oxidation of the cured layers ...
