Creep suppression and fatigue in bio-based composites manufactured via conventional and large format additive manufacturing processes by Amber M. Hubbard, Katie Copenhaver, Caitlyn M. Clarkson, Andrés Márquez Rossy, Mitchell L. Rencheck, Meghan E. Lamm, Soydan Ozcan

“…Herein, PLA/WF is explored as a feedstock material for large format additive manufacturing (LFAM) and the performance of additively manufactured materials is compared to those produced via more traditional processing methods. It is also demonstrated that the addition of WF decreases the material’s coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) while increasing its Young’s modulus, susceptibility to water uptake, and creep fatigue resistance. …”
