In the field of additive manufacturing (AM), fused filament fabrication (FFF) of thermoplastic composites reinforced with continuous natural fibers (CNFs) has emerged as a promising sustainable alternative to synthetic fiber composites. This review provides a...
Carbon fibers (CFs) are widely used as reinforcing components in composites due to their exceptional properties, such as high tensile strength and thermal stability. Owing to their inert and smooth surfaces, CFs lack polar groups, resulting in weak bonding performance...
Thermoplastic composites have emerged as advanced engineering materials due to their superior recyclability, damage tolerance, and processing versatility compared with conventional thermoset systems. This review provides a comprehensive assessment of recent advances...
The focus of this work was to investigate the mechanical properties of additively manufactured (AM) discontinuous carbon fibre-reinforced polymer (DCFRP) composites. Towards the specimen’s fabrication, the Fused Filament Fabrication (FFF) additive manufacturing...
This study presents experimental modal analysis of an ultra-lightweight composite structure representative of UAV application and to evaluate the suitability of different testing approaches for reliable identification of its dynamics characteristics. The investigated...
