Assessment of Interfacial Adhesion of Adhesively Bonded 3D-Printed Thermoplastics

Abstract:

The aim of this study is to evaluate the interfacial adhesion of Fused Deposition Model (FDM)-printed Acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) and Polylactic acid (PLA) bonded using commercially – available epoxy and elastomeric bonding agents. An adhesive was applied to the 3D printed specimen to quantify the interfacial resistance, the surface was then examined under an optical microscope in order to assess the reaction of the polymer to the adhesives. The results reported in the present work allow the conclusion of levels of bond improvement in the polymers.
