Mishandling of waste plastics and biomasses is a major global concern. Every year, around
380 million tonnes of plastic are produced, with only 9% being recycled, leading to …

The interest in sustainable materials and technologies has increased significantly due to
environmental issues triggered by using plastics and their associated wastes. Every year …

Transforming waste polypropylene (PP) and waste carbon fibre into upcycled composite
materials for additive manufacturing represents an ideal circular economy challenge. An …

Additive manufacturing presents promising potential as a sustainable processing
technology, notably through integrating post-consumer recycled polymers into production …

Over the past 40 years, global plastic production has increased twenty-fold, prompting efforts

The mechanical properties of carbon fiber reinforced thermoplastic (CFRTP) molded parts
produced by thermal fusion lamination 3D printing vary with printing conditions. This study …

Thermoplastic pultrusion is a suitable process for fabricating continuous unidirectional
thermoplastics with a uniform cross-section, high mechanical properties due to continuous …

Hybrid reinforced composites with talc fillers and cellulose nanofibers (CNFs) were
proposed as a new fused filament fabrication for polypropylene (PP). The effect of filler …

Polypropylene (PP) is one of the most used polymers and has a wide scope of application,
