Bhat C, Prajapati MJ, Kumar A, Jeng JY. Additive Manufacturing-Enabled Advanced Design and Process Strategies for Multi-Functional Lattice Structures. MATERIALS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2024; 17:3398. [PMID: 39063693 PMCID: PMC11277650 DOI: 10.3390/ma17143398] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/31/2024] [Revised: 06/24/2024] [Accepted: 06/28/2024] [Indexed: 07/28/2024]
Abstract
The properties of each lattice structure are a function of four basic lattice factors, namely the morphology of the unit cell, its tessellation, relative density, and the material properties. The recent advancements in additive manufacturing (AM) have facilitated the easy manipulation of these factors to obtain desired functionalities. This review attempts to expound on several such strategies to manipulate these lattice factors. Several design-based grading strategies, such as functional grading, with respect to size and density manipulation, multi-morphology, and spatial arrangement strategies, have been discussed and their link to the natural occurrences are highlighted. Furthermore, special emphasis is given to the recently designed tessellation strategies to deliver multi-functional lattice responses. Each tessellation on its own acts as a novel material, thereby tuning the required properties. The subsequent section explores various material processing techniques with respect to multi-material AM to achieve multi-functional properties. The sequential combination of multiple materials generates novel properties that a single material cannot achieve. The last section explores the scope for combining the design and process strategies to obtain unique lattice structures capable of catering to advanced requirements. In addition, the future role of artificial intelligence and machine learning in developing function-specific lattice properties is highlighted.

Flexible Perfluoropolyethers-Functionalized CNTs-Based UHMWPE Composites: A Study on Hydrogen Evolution, Conductivity and Thermal Stability. MATERIALS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2022; 15:6883. [PMID: 36234224 PMCID: PMC9571002 DOI: 10.3390/ma15196883] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/15/2022] [Revised: 09/21/2022] [Accepted: 09/26/2022] [Indexed: 06/16/2023]
Abstract
Flexible conductive composites based on ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) filled with multi-walled carbon nanotubes (CNTs) modified by perfluoropolyethers (PFPEs) were produced. The bonding of PFPE chains, added in 1:1 and 2:1 weight ratios, on CNTs influences the dispersion of nanotubes in the UHMWPE matrix due to the non-polar nature of the polymer, facilitating the formation of nanofillers-rich conductive pathways and improving composites' electrical conductivity (two to five orders of magnitude more) in comparison to UHMWPE-based nanocomposites obtained with pristine CNTs. Electrochemical atomic force microscopy (EC-AFM) was used to evaluate the morphological changes during cyclic voltammetry (CV). The decrease of the overpotential for hydrogen oxidation peaks in samples containing PFPE-functionalized CNTs and hydrogen production (approximately -1.0 V vs. SHE) suggests that these samples could find application in fuel cell technology as well as in hydrogen storage devices. Carbon black-containing composites were prepared for comparative study with CNTs containing nanocomposites.

Abstract
Polymer sequence engineering is emerging as a potential tool to modulate material properties. Here, we employ a combination of a genetic algorithm (GA) and atomistic molecular dynamics (MD) simulation to design polyethylene-polypropylene (PE-PP) copolymers with the aim of identifying a specific sequence with high thermal conductivity. PE-PP copolymers with various sequences at the same monomer ratio are found to have a broad distribution of thermal conductivities. This indicates that the monomer sequence has a crucial effect on thermal energy transport of the copolymers. A non-periodic and non-intuitive optimal sequence is indeed identified by the GA, which gives the highest thermal conductivity compared with any regular block copolymers, for example, diblock, triblock, and hexablock. In comparison to the bulk density, chain conformations, and vibrational density of states, the monomer sequence has the strongest impact on the efficiency of thermal energy transport via inter- and intra-molecular interactions. Our work highlights polymer sequence engineering as a promising approach for tuning the thermal conductivity of copolymers, and it provides an example application of integrating atomistic MD modeling with the GA for computational material design.

Abstract
As is well known, it is difficult to simultaneously improve both the strength and elongation at break of polymers filled with nanomaterials. This work obtained high-performance composites with enhanced strength and elongation at break via cross-linking hydroxyl-terminated polybutadiene (HTPB) chains with hyperbranched-polyamide-modified graphene oxide (HGO), and the preparation, characterization, and mechanical properties of the composites serving as a composite solid-propellant binder have been described in detail. Compared with pure HTPB polyurethane (P-HTPB), the tensile strength and elastic modulus of the composite containing 0.1 wt% HGO (H-0.1/HTPB) increase by 57.8% and 65.3%, respectively. Notably, the elongation at break of the H-0.1/HTPB composite can reach up to 1292.6%, which is even higher than that of P-HTPB. Moreover, the capabilities of the composites to resist deformation have also been enhanced significantly. The glass transition temperatures of the composites are still extremely low (∼-73 °C), which is beneficial for their applications. It can be expected that this study can provide an effective fabrication approach and strategy for preparing high-performance polyurethane composites.

Abstract
Fused deposition modelling (FDM) is one of the fastest-growing additive manufacturing methods used in printing fibre-reinforced composites (FRC). The performances of the resulting printed parts are limited compared to those by other manufacturing methods due to their inherent defects. Hence, the effort to develop treatment methods to overcome these drawbacks has accelerated during the past few years. The main focus of this study is to review the impact of those defects on the mechanical performance of FRC and therefore to discuss the available treatment methods to eliminate or minimize them in order to enhance the functional properties of the printed parts. As FRC is a combination of polymer matrix material and continuous or short reinforcing fibres, this review will thoroughly discuss both thermoplastic polymers and FRCs printed via FDM technology, including the effect of printing parameters such as layer thickness, infill pattern, raster angle and fibre orientation. The most common defects on printed parts, in particular, the void formation, surface roughness and poor bonding between fibre and matrix, are explored. An inclusive discussion on the effectiveness of chemical, laser, heat and ultrasound treatments to minimize these drawbacks is provided by this review.

Abstract
Cancer is estimated to be a significant health problem of the 21st century. The situation gets even tougher when it comes to its treatment using chemotherapy employing synthetic anticancer molecules with numerous side effects. Recently, there has been a paradigm shift toward the adoption of herbal drugs for the treatment of cancer. In this context, a suitable delivery system is principally warranted to deliver these herbal biomolecules specifically at the tumorous site. To achieve this goal, carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have been widely explored to deliver anticancer herbal molecules with improved therapeutic efficacy and safety. This review uniquely expounds the biopharmaceutical, clinical and safety aspects of different anticancer herbal drugs delivered through CNTs with a cross-talk on their outcomes. This review will serve as a one-stop-shop for the readers on various anticancer herbal drugs delivered through CNTs as a futuristic delivery device.

Abstract
A hybrid nanocomposites based on epoxy reinforced with a combination of 1D and 2D carbon nanomaterials for improving impact resistance are reported. Multi-walled carbon nanotubes and oxidized-multi-walled carbon nanotubes are used as 1D nanoreinforcements, and graphene derivative materials such as graphene oxide and reduced graphene oxide are utilized as 2D nanoreinforcements. In this research, the impact resistance of epoxy matrix reinforced with 1D or 2D and the mixture of both nanomaterials is studied. The research is focused on evaluation of the influence of adding different combinations of nanomaterials into epoxy resin and their Izod impact response. Moreover, fracture surface of nanocomposites is observed by scanning electron microscopy. Images show differences between the surfaces of brittle nature on thermoset epoxy polymer and tough nanocomposites. Synergy created with 1D and 2D nanomaterials produces stable dispersions in the processing, reflected in the interface. The interactions in nanocomposites are evidenced by infrared spectra, principally on the peaks related to oxygenated functional groups present in nanomaterials and absent in polymer matrix. Consequently, an increase of 138% in fracture strength of nanocomposites is exhibited, in comparison to the neat epoxy matrix. In addition, hybrid nanocomposites were synthesized in two different methods to evaluate the influence of manufacturing method on final properties of nanocomposites.

Abstract
While metal is the most common conductive constituent element in the preparation of metamaterials, one-dimensional conductive carbon nanotubes (CNTs) provide alternative building blocks. Here alumina (Al2O3) nanocomposites with multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) uniformly dispersed in the alumina matrix were prepared by hot-pressing sintering. As the MWCNT content increased, the formed conductive MWCNT networks led to the occurrence of the percolation phenomenon and a change of the conductive mechanism. Two different types of negative permittivity (i.e., resonance-induced and plasma-like) were observed in the composites. The resonance-induced negative permittivity behavior in the composite with a low nanotube content was ascribed to the induced electric dipole generated from the isolated MWCNTs. The frequency dispersions of such negative permittivity can be fitted well by the Lorentz model, while the observed plasma-like negative permittivity behavior in the composites with MWCNT content exceeding the percolation threshold could be well explained by the low frequency plasmonic state generated from conductive nanotube networks using the Drude model. This work is favorable to revealing the generation mechanism of negative permittivity behavior and will greatly facilitate the practical applications of metamaterials.
