Review of Polymers/Polymer Nanocomposites Used in Additive Manufacturing: Properties and Applications

摘要

A short review of four most commonly used additive manufacturing (AM) techniques, including fused deposition or fused filament fabrication, selective laser sintering, stereolithography, and multi jet fusion are presented. This paper also discusses properties and applications of commercially available polymers/polymer nanocomposites used in additive manufacturing. The need for more robust material properties continues to drive the research and development for new materials that are compatible with the different AM techniques.
