Since the creation of first man-made plastic, the global production and consumption of
plastics have been continuously increasing. However, because plastic materials are durable …

The assessment of the extent of degradation of polymer molecules during processing via
conventional (eg, extrusion and injection molding) and emerging (eg, additive …

For the first time, graphene nanoplatelets (xGnP) were incorporated at 4 wt% in acrylonitrile–
butadiene–styrene (ABS) filaments obtained by a solvent-free process consisting of melt …

Abstract Acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS) resin is a commonly used engineering
thermoplastic. Nevertheless, the fire toxicity hazards (HCN, NO x, NH 3 and CO) generated …

A promising method of enhancing the circular economy is distributed plastic recycling. In this
study plastic waste is upcycled into 3-D printing filament with a recyclebot, which is an open …

Additive manufacturing (or three-dimensional (3D) printing) is constantly growing as an
innovative process for the production of complex-shape components. Among the seven …

Purpose–Fused deposition modeling (FDM) is a layer by layer technology with the potential
to create complex and individual parts from thermoplastic materials such as ABS. The use of …

E-waste comprising plastics causes serious ecological problems due to low degradability,
but it is capable of producing a high amount of energy by thermochemical conversion …

Single wall carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) and vapor grown carbon fibers (VGCFs) were
compounded with poly (acrylonitrile-co-butadiene-co-styrene)(ABS) to create composite …

This study examines the changes in physical and mechanical properties of acrylonitrile
butadiene styrene (ABS) when manufactured using fused filament fabrication (FFF) 3D …
