Properties Of Poly (Lactic Acid) / Polybutylene Adipate Terephthalate Reinforced With Oil Palm Empty Fruit Bunch Composites For Fused Deposition Modeling 3d Printing

Poly (lactic acid) (PLA) is amongst the preferable materials used in 3D printing because of its unique properties such as good appearance, higher transparency, less toxicity and low thermal expansion that help reduce the internal stresses caused during cooling. However, PLA is brittle and has low to...
