Abstract

Recycled PET has been widely studied for its potential use in 3D printing applications. However, few research has examined how printing speed affects recycled PET filament products' mechanical and physical qualities. This research examines how printing speed influences the physical and mechanical qualities of 3D-printed PET filament goods created from mineral water bottle trash. In this study, filament fabrication is carried out using the homemade pultrusion machine, then the filament is used for 3D printing with variations in printing speed (30, 45, and 60 mm/s). The conducted tests comprise density, tensile, hardness, and compressive testing to examine their physical and mechanical properties. This research found that 45 mm/s printing produced specimens with the maximum density, tensile strength, and hardness. The material reached a density of 0.968 g/cm³, tensile strength of 15.752 N/mm², and hardness of 43.50 Shore D under these circumstances. In contrast, specimens printed at 30 mm/s and 45 mm/s showed the greatest (10.841 N/mm²) and lowest (6.510 N/mm²) compressive strengths. The density, hardness, and tensile strength of 3D-printed specimens improved as the printing speed increased from 30 to 45 mm/s. Printing rates above 45 mm/s reduced specimen density, hardness, and tensile strength. This work promotes sustainable manufacturing by showing that recycled PET filament may be used for 3D printing and how printing speed affects material qualities, thereby promoting sustainable production practices and reduce dependence on virgin materials.

Abstract

The use of natural materials like rattan in eco-friendly composites is gaining attention in materials engineering. However, its hydrophilic nature and interaction with other materials can affect mechanical strength. This study investigates how variations in rattan size and alkali treatment influence the tensile properties of single rattan strips through an epoxy dipping process. Rattan was prepared with varying lengths (5–15 cm), widths (3–8 mm), and a consistent thickness (0.5 mm). Alkali treatment used 5% and 10% NaOH concentrations for 1 and 24 hours. Tensile testing showed that a 5 cm × 8 mm strip achieved the highest tensile strength (49.95 MPa), Young's modulus (3562.77 MPa), and low strain (5.4%), while the 15 cm × 3 mm strip had the lowest strength (9.48 MPa) and modulus (475.69 MPa) with higher strain (10.32%). A 5% NaOH treatment for 24 hours improved adhesion and performance, while 10% caused degradation.

Abstract

The incorporation of wood dust and crumb rubber waste as filler in polymer matrix composite still requires in-depth evaluation of mechanical properties because they have different characteristics. This study evaluates the tensile, flexural, and hardness properties of epoxy composites reinforced with various fractions of wood dust and crumb rubber (5, 10, and 15%). The results showed that the composite with 5% crumb rubber produced the highest tensile strength of 15.52 MPa (CR5), while the highest flexural strength was 30.46 MPa (CR10), and the highest hardness was 75.9 HRC (CR15), indicating superior performance for CR fillers. The observations of the fracture surface showed that increasing the fraction of wood dust contributed to lowering the mechanical performance due to the relatively large distribution of voids and agglomeration. This finding confirms the importance of filler type and fraction selection on composite performance. Future research is recommended to explore filler surface modification and hybrid combinations to improve dispersion and bonding between phases in composites.
