Abstract

The primary focus of this work is the development of a hybrid composite material for 3D filaments. Polyethylene phthalate glycol (PETG) and (PETG/Carbon) fiber composite materials have their surface properties (surface roughness, Shore hardness, and micro hardness) tested. A ratio of 15% carbon fiber (in the form of carbon filaments) was used as the reinforcing filler. Using FDM (fused deposition modeling material) technology, the surface properties of PETG material used in 3D printed objects were enhanced. An ENDER 3D printer was used to create three PETG and PETG/Carbon fiber samples, using the printer setting 240°C temperature, 80°C build plate temperature, 55mm/s speed, 0.2mm layer height and speed fan 100mm/s. After that, an optical microscope and FT-IR technologies were used to investigate the samples. Results showed that as compared to PETG, the surface roughness of PETG/Carbon was reduced by 32.7%. This allowed carbon fiber to break doubly bonded in the PETG structure and also enhanced sample flow and adhesion. The PETG/Carbon samples had a Shore hardness D that was 2.16% lower than PETG's, but a slightly higher Micro hardness, making them more comparable to 10.4 HV than to 9.6 HV. However, the carbon fiber was reinforced and showed high compatibility with a PETG polymer matrix at the samples' buried structures, demonstrating that a 3D printer is an effective production tool for producing homogenized composite materials. According to claims, these features enhance the carbon fiber's ability to slide in PETG/Carbon samples.
