Progress on Modifications and Applications of ABS Composites via FDM
Acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene copolymer(ABS)has good mechanical properties and workability.In recent years,with the continuous maturity and developments of fused deposition modeling(FDM)3D printing technology,ABS and its various modified composite materials have been widely used.In this paper,firstly,the current statuses of modified ABS matrix composites with metal fillers,inorganic non-metallic fillers,organic polymer fillers,recycled waste polymer fillers and so on were systematically sorted out,and their related properties were summarized based on FDM technology.Then,the cutting-edge applications of FDM-printed products of various ABS modified composites in the fields of medicine,civil industry,military electromagnetic and wave absorption were reviewed.Finally,combined with the current situation of FDM printing technology and ABS modifications,some viewpoints on the future FDM printing method and ABS modification technologies were proposed.
