Plastic recycling in additive manufacturing: A systematic literature review and opportunities for the circular economy

Neurofibromatosis: Phenotype, Natural History and Pathogenesis

Nano graphene (Gr) particles are of abundant methodical and scientific interest as having the astonishing prospective to usage as the sensors element in the miniaturized and biomedical sensor device. The nano Gr particles have been appeared on the life science and health platform due to their interesting material performance like; excellent biocompatibility, conductivity, super para magnetism, thermal, chemical, mechanical and metallurgical properties to use as a sensor component. In recent years, Gr as nanoparticles has acquired powerful technological and scientific attention and having potential applications like; for fabrication of super-capacitors, batteries, solar or fuel cells, miniaturized and biomedical sensors. Gr is one of the most influential nano composites with endowment of use in the sensing mechanism like; bio-sensing, bio-imaging and diagnostic of diseases due to stimulating material behavior like; biocompatibility, cell growing properties, excellent surface behavior thermally and chemically etc. The present discussion explores the state of art review and prospective of the Gr in the miniaturized and biomedical sensors. The sensing mechanism for each of the sensors has been discussed for betters understanding of the functionality and prospective of the Gr in the sensors.

Graphene as biomedical sensing element: State of art review and potential engineering applications

Carbon-fiber reinforcement in plastics makes possible lightweight parts with outstanding strength and rigidity. but until recently, the cost of the fibers and of processing the reinforced parts has limited uses to aerospace components and high-priced sports equipment. These costs are being trimmed, however; some moulding compounds, at the lower end of the performance range, are already selling for well under $10/lb. Here's a look at the various types and forms of fiber available, and how they are combined in plastic matrices.

Investigations of polylactic acid reinforced composite feedstock filaments for multimaterial three-dimensional printing applications:

In the present work tensile, flexural, impact and hardness properties of sorghum bicolor, sisal fiber and jute reinforced with polyester composites are described for the first time. The hybrid composite plates are fabricated for different fiber weights by hand lay-up method. To investigate the mechanical attributes tensile, flexural, impact and hardness tests were performed as per ASTM standard. The mechanical test results revealed a regular trend of an increase in tensile, flexural, impact and hardness properties to adding natural fibers. Good adhesion between the natural fibers and the polyester matrix is also responsible for the effective resistance capability. Further, thermal stability and thermal decomposition of the composite material observed by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and differential thermal analysis (DTA). The work concludes that sisal, jute, and sorghum bicolor fiber have high potential as reinforcement for composite production. This type of composite material can be useful for automobiles, industrial applications and construction fields.
