Thermomechanical Stability and Damping Mechanisms in Multifunctional 3D-Printed PCL-Based Composites

Abstract:

Three-dimensional (3D) printing enables the fabrication of smart composite materials by embedding ferromagnetic shape memory alloy (FSMA) microparticles into a ductile polymer matrix, thus overcoming the intrinsic brittleness of most FSMA materials. In this work, the effects of thermal treatments near the melting temperature upon the damping mechanism in the low-temperature region are studied both in the 3D-printed PCL samples and in the 3D-printed (PCL/Ni45Mn36.7In13.3Co5) composites, focusing on the interactions processes between the microparticles and the polymer chains. 3D-printed PCL and 3D-printed composites were obtained by means Fused Deposition Modelling (FDM) and were studied by mechanical spectroscopy (MS). The deconvolution of the damping spectra revealed the appearance of two relaxation mechanisms in 3D-printed PCL samples and three relaxation mechanisms in 3D-printed composites.
