Characterization of continuous carbon fibre reinforced 3D printed polymer composites with varying fibre volume fractions

Khalid Saeed et al.

Summary: This study investigates the mechanical properties of continuous carbon fiber reinforced polyamide polymer composite samples. The strength and stiffness of the samples increase with the increase in fiber volume content. The synergy between short and continuous carbon fiber also improves the tensile properties. The microstructure analysis shows a strong correlation between the mechanical properties and the microstructure. Acid digestion method and micro-computed tomography are used to quantify the effects of voids and confirm the impact of hot pressing on the samples.
