摘要

This study systematically investigates the effects of the filler content of mandarin peel powder and processing variables on the tensile properties of a commercial eSUN photopolymer resin using a Taguchi L9 experimental design. Filler was incorporated into the resin at three concentrations (1, 3, and 5 wt%) and fabricated via silicone mold casting. Three control parameters, curing time (60, 75, and 90 min), mixing speed (300, 400, and 500 rpm), and filler content, were optimized. Tensile testing was conducted in accordance with ASTM D638 to obtain stress–strain data. S/N ratio analysis and analysis of variance (ANOVA) identified filler content as the most influential factor, followed by mixing speed and curing time. The highest tensile strength was achieved at the lowest MPP concentration (1 wt%). Higher loadings resulted in reduced mechanical performance due to particle agglomeration and stress concentrations. Notably, composites with 1 wt% filler exhibited tensile properties comparable to or exceeding those of pure resin, while reducing overall resin consumption. The results demonstrate that filler is a viable, sustainable additive for photopolymer systems when processed under optimized conditions. Furthermore, the integrated Taguchi-ANOVA approach proved to be an efficient methodology for determining optimal parameters with a minimized number of experiments.
