Polymer matrix composite materials with magnetic properties obtained by the addition of micron-size particles of neodymium iron boron (NdFeB) and strontium ferrite for fused filament fabrication (FFF) are becoming attractive because of their potential applications in the health and automotive industries. Additionally, the design flexibility and low cost of additive manufacturing processes encourage the scientific community to create the materials and understand the properties of the parts obtained with such methods. For example, the micron-size particles of NdFeB and two different types of strontium ferrites, OP-56 and OP-71, were dispersed in the Polyamide 12 matrix using twin screw extrusion. The monofilaments produced on twin screw extrusion were used to print test samples using an open-source FFF 3D printer. Thermal analysis shows a heat flow improvement in the composites compared to neat polyamide 12. Flexural and tensile strengths of the NdFeB/PA12 and OP-71/PA12 composites were reduced, whereas OP-56/PA12 composites showed an improvement of 6% compared to neat PA12. On the other hand, the tensile moduli of OP-71/PA12, OP-56/PA12, and NdFeB/PA12 composites increased by 5.5%, 48.9%, and 25.13%, respectively.

Keywords: Polymer-matrix composites (PMCs), magnetic anisotropy, twin screw extrusion, strontium ferrite, neodymium iron boron (NdFeB), additive manufacturing, fused filament fabrication (FFF).
