In this research, processing and 3D printing of PETG -ABS - Fe 3 O 4 nanocomposites reinforced with iron oxide nanoparticles in three different weight percentages of iron oxide nanoparticles with PETG70 -ABS30 polymer matrix was done. This research was carried out with the aim of strengthening the shape memory properties, thermal properties, mechanical properties and adding the ability to indirectly stimulate the background matrix through the addition of iron oxide nanoparticles. SEM images confirmed that the mixture of PETG -ABS is immiscible and adding nanoparticles does not change the compatibility and miscibility of the base polymer, and this result is consistent with the DMTA analysis was also checked and confirmed. With increasing amount of iron oxide, the tensile strength and elongation decrease, and this decrease in mechanical properties is more pronounced in the sample of 20% by weight of iron oxide compared to the sample of 10% by weight. Nevertheless, the final strength of the samples is around 25 to 32 MPa, which indicates a suitable and acceptable distribution of nanoparticles up to 15% by weight in the polymer field. By increasing the amount of iron oxide nanoparticles, the amount of shape recovery increases and the nanocomposites containing 10, 15 and 20% by weight show shape recovery of 63.77%, 88.48 and 93.33%, respectively.
