Abstract

As industries increasingly adopt additive manufacturing, the demand for materials that offer better mechanical properties and functionality is on the rise. The purpose of present research work is to develop a novel hybrid biocomposites for 3D printing applications. The acacia bark, waste powder obtained from wet mahanarayan oil consisting of herbs and other bio filler was added in polylactic acid (PLA) for synthesis of hybrid biocomposites filament by twin screw extrusion-based process for FDM 3D printing. The tensile strength, impact strength, and hardness were investigated. The morphological study was conducted using SEM. The four different composition samples were obtained with varying range of PLA and other bio filler materials. The specimens for different tests were prepared as per ASTM D638 and ASTM D256 standard. The result indicates slight increase in tensile strength of one composition, decrease of impact strength and increase of hardness values for all compositions. The obtained results provide an understanding of preparation of a patented novel hybrid biocomposites with the aim to bring out the mechanical and morphological aspects of it.
