Fonksiyonel malzemeleri kullanarak eklemeli üretim

The ability to additively manufacture using functional materials such as electrically conductive, dielectric, refractory, and hard materials leads to the development of smart and active products. There is a scarcity of functional materials that can be used in the additive manufacturing technique. In this work, an additively manufacturable and electrically conductive polymer matrix composite (ePMC) is developed and characterized. The electrical conductivity of the developed ePMC is tuneable with a maximum conductivity of 128 S.m-1. An application of the developed ePMC is presented for additive manufacturing a smart disinfection system to contain the spread of SARS-CoV-2. The thesis also proposes a multi-material additive manufacturing approach for the additive manufacturing of ceramic materials. The proposed approach involves the layer-by-layer additive manufacturing of a negative mold geometry. The ceramic slurry is cast into the mold gradually as it is built up layer-by-layer. The ceramic green body is demolded by dissolving the mold in an organic solvent. The multi-material approach eliminated the shape retention issue of the slurry-based additive manufacturing technique.
