Overview

Additive Manufacturing of Functional Polymers and Nanocomposites: Recent Progress, Applications, Challenges and Future Opportunities provides up-to-date knowledge in this important research field. The book provides a comprehensive overview of the whole development phase, from material synthesis to component design and manufacturing and applications. The contents are divided into five key parts. Section 1 introduces additive manufacturing of functional polymers and nanocomposites and discusses the numerous developments and perspectives that have been perceived over recent years. Section 2 looks at the various types of functional polymers and nanocomposite materials, including their characterization, and the various synthesis techniques that can be employed to fabricate customized objects using AM technologies. Section 3 focuses on the use of functional polymers and nanocomposites in a broad range of applications including health care, electronics, automotive, robotics, aerospace, and other industrial sectors. Section 4 focuses on theoretical modeling and machine learning approaches. Section 5 discusses key challenges, the environmental and health impact, commercialization aspects and opportunities for the future.
