| Popis: | ABSTRACTMetal oxide nanorods exhibit promising potential as reinforcement fillers in various polymer matrices, but their application in the Multi Jet Fusion (MJF) technique is rarely reported. In this work, surface-modified zinc oxide nanorods (SMZnO) were synthesized and incorporated into polyamide 12 (PA12) powder to enhance the mechanical properties of the MJF-printed parts. Compared to ZnO, SMZnO exhibited better dispersion, resulting in markedly enhanced mechanical performances. The ultimate tensile strength and the Young's modulus of the MJF-printed SMZnO/PA12 nanocomposites were 62.02 MPa and 2.28 GPa in the X orientation and 64.07 MPa and 2.34 GPa in the Y orientation, equivalent to 27.85%, 59.44%, 29.12%, and 54.97% increments, respectively. The flexural strength and modulus demonstrated similar improvements in the X and Y orientations, confirming the uniform mechanical enhancement effect of homogenously distributed SMZnO. This work provides a novel and facile approach for the additive manufacturing of polymeric nanocomposites with superior mechanical performance. |
