Abstract

This study aims to provide a comprehensive account of chemically reduced graphene oxide (RGO) and decabromodiphenyl ethane (DBDPE) filled acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS) multifunctional filaments for fused deposition modeling (FDM) applications. ABS/RGO with DBDPE nanocomposites (ABS-GDM) were fabricated by single-screw extrusion at a diameter of 1.75 mm. The proportion of RGO and DBDPE for the ABS-GDM filaments was set to 0.75 wt%. The properties of the ABS-GDM were determined using optical, mechanical, thermal, and morphological characteristics (using scanning electron microscopy). A three-dimensional (3D) model was successfully printed using the developed ABS-GDM filaments for FDM 3D printing. These ABS-GDM have the potential to be used in FDM 3D printing. Considering the optical band gap of the nanocomposites, they can also be used in optoelectronic devices and sensor applications. Also, the vertical combustion standard testing results showed that ABSGDM filaments can be flame retardant.
