Part of this research leading to these results was funded by the European Union Seventh Framework Programme (FP7/2007- 2013) under grant agreement n° 263017, Project “NanoCelluComp”. Part of the work of AM, SDM and GRM was supported by P2020-PTDC/CTM-POL/7133/2014 FCT (Portugal). The electron microscopy was performed in the Centre for Advanced Microscopy at the University of Reading and we thank Matthew Spink for his help. Additive manufacturing has surged in popularity as a route to designing and preparing functional parts. Depending on the parts function, certain attributes such as high mechanical performances may be desired. We develop a route for improving the mechanical properties of polymer devices, fabricated through additive manufacturing by combining electrospinning and stereo-lithography into one automated process. This process utilises the impressive mechanical properties of carbon nanotubes by encapsulating and aligning them in electrospun fibres. Composite fibres will be incorporated into polymer resins prepared with stereo-lithography, thereby providing resins that benefit from the composite fibres properties, enhancing their overall mechanical properties. info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion |
