TL;DR: Investigations show that while FDM printing allows for producing objects with mechanical properties similar to the original materials, metal-polymer blends cannot be used for the rapid manufacturing of objects necessitating mechanical strength.

TL;DR: In this article, a method to improve the adhesion of a 3D printed object on a textile fabric by previously coating the latter with a polymer layer was proposed, without changing the bending stiffness and haptic properties of a fabric.

TL;DR: Although the adhesion between both materials is insufficient in the case of a common rigid printing polymer, nanofiber mats show strong adhesion to 3D printed scaffolds from thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU), paves the way to a second approach of combining 3D printing and electrospinning in order to prepare mechanically stable filters with a nanofibrous surface.

TL;DR: A series of new polymers that are applicable for electrospinning from DMSO, including poly(vinyl alcohol-co-ethylene) (EVOH), and acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) as water-insoluble polymers were found to be suitable for the production of nanofibers.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used polyacrylonitrile as a base material for thermochemical conversion into carbon nanofibers, and especially nanofiber mats, produced by electrospinning, are of interest to create carbon nanoribers.
