Abstrakt:	Acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) composites were prepared in filament form compatible with the material extrusion (MEX) 3D printing method, using biochar as a filler at various loadings of up to 10.0 wt %. Samples were fabricated to experimentally investigate their mechanical performance. The ABS/biochar composites were characterized using thermogravimetric analysis, differential scanning calorimetry, Raman spectroscopy, and rheological tests. The electrical properties of the composites were investigated using broadband dielectric spectroscopy. Scanning electron microscopy was utilized to analyze the morphological features of the fabricated specimens by examining their side and fracture surfaces. The results indicate that the composite with 4.0 wt % biochar content compared to pure ABS showed the highest mechanical response between the prepared composites (24.9 % and 21 % higher than the pure ABS tensile and flexural strength respectively). The composites retained their insulating behavior. These findings contribute to expanding the utilization of the material extrusion (MEX) 3D printing method while also unlocking prospects for potential applications in microelectronics, apart from mechanical reinforcement.
