Fused deposition modelling (FDM) is an advanced 3D printing technique for the
manufacture of plastic materials. The ease of use, prototyping accuracy and low cost makes …

Plasma-enhanced synthesis and modification of polymers is a field that continues to expand
and become increasingly more sophisticated. The highly reactive processing environments …

Additive manufacturing (AM) has been used for manufacturing of components with complex
geometries. AM also known as three-dimensional (3D) printing, is a topic of high growth in …

Abstract 3D printing and electrospinning are used to fabricate complex structures with
improved properties. Combining 3D printing and electrospinning potentially creates …

The renewable resource, wood, is becoming increasingly popular as a feedstock material for
additive manufacturing (AM). It can help make those processes more affordable and reduce …

Purpose Additive manufacturing has disadvantages, such as the maximum part size being
limited by the machine's working volume. Therefore, if a part more considerable than the …

This paper investigates the synergistic effects of a two-step surface modification approach
on acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) plastics. The first step involves a mechanical …

This study aimed to analyse the efficacy of a new cold plasma device adapted for treatment
with a low power consumption. We tested the reduction of bacterial cells in biofilms of E. coli …

Poly (lactide)(PLA) films obtained by thermoforming or solution-casting were modified by
diffuse coplanar surface barrier discharge plasma (300 W and 60 s). PLA films were used as …

As additive manufacturing technologies advance, new opportunities are opening up for their
application in the furniture industry. Wood remains one of the leading raw materials in the …
