Electrical anisotropy controlled heating of acrylonitrile butadiene styrene 3D printed parts

Liberata Guadagno et al.

Summary: This study presents a simple method for producing 3D printed artefacts with multiscale configurations and controlled electrical resistivity using acrylonitrile butadiene styrene and carbon nanotubes (CNTs). By selecting appropriate printing parameters, highly orientated conductive pathways are achieved using aligned CNTs. The printing process increases the electrical conductivity from 6.88 x 10-2 to 11.9 S/m. The spatial domain orientation leads to a decrease in electrical resistance. The ability to selectively heat the part was demonstrated by changing the applied voltage, showing potential applications in electronic devices, thermistors, heat exchangers, and electromagnetic interference shielding.
