Anasheh Khecho, Erina Baynojir Joyee · ASME International · 2025
This study explores how magnetic fields can enhance the rheological properties of polymer composites in additive manufacturing.
Plain English summary
Why this matters
Key findings
- Magnetic fields enhance the viscoelasticity of polymer composites.
- Fe3O4 particles improve elasticity while SiC nanoparticles affect viscoelastic properties.
- Magnetorheological effects facilitate better control over ink-wetting behavior.
- Smoother extrusion and improved deposition control were observed under magnetic fields.
- Challenges with nonmagnetic particles disrupting magnetic chain formation were identified.
