摘要

In this study, ZnCl2 (25/50 wt.%) was reinforced in the polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) matrix to develop multifunctional composites aimed at structural and sensing applications using 3D dispenser printing. From the process capability viewpoint, a comparison was made for recycling ZnCl2-reinforced PVDF processed by material extrusion (MEX). The MEX process has the limitation of reinforcing chemicals/salts due to the melt flow index (MFI) constraints, which may be addressed by dispenser printing. For sensing capabilities analysis, a substrate was fabricated by 3D dispenser printing based on a microstrip patch antenna (MPA), and its resonance frequency (Rf) was observed with a Vector network analyzer (VNA) using reverse transmission (S21), reflection coefficient (S11), and specific absorption ratio (SAR). The calculated SAR for PVDF + 25% ZnCl2 and PVDF + 50% ZnCl2 were 1.433 W/kg and 1.058 W/kg respectively. The observed peak stress (PS), peak load (PL), stiffness (Sf), and Young’s modulus (E) for PVDF + 25% ZnCl2 and PVDF + 50% ZnCl2 were 5.249 MPa, 10.498 N, 8.303 N/mm, 27.673 MPa, and 4.273 MPa, 8.546 N, 9.532 N/mm, and 21.339 MPa, respectively. The study shows that the 3D dispenser printed PVDF-ZnCl composites are better than MEX based on electromagnetic sensing and structural strength.
