Effects of the Rice Husk Ashes and Titanium Dioxide on Properties of ABS Composites Parts Obtained by 3D Printing

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of incorporation of the rice husk ashesRice husk ash (RHA) and titanium dioxide on properties of acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABSAcrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS)). The incorporation of rice husk ashesRice husk ash (RHA) (RHARice husk ash (RHA)) (2.5 wt.%) and titanium dioxide (2.5; 5.0 wt.%) into ABSAcrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) matrix was carried out by melting extrusion process using a twin-screw extruder. Neat ABSAcrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) and its composites filaments for FDM 3D printing3D printing were produced using the melting extrusion process to obtain specimens for tests. The properties of ABSAcrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS)/RHARice husk ash (RHA)/TiO2TiO2 composite samples were investigated by the properties of the ABSAcrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS)/RHARice husk ash (RHA)/TiO2TiO2 composite samples were evaluated using tensile testsTensile tests, SEMScattering electron microscopy (SEM), XRD analysis, Charpy impact test, and water contact angle measurements. This study contributes to our understanding of the behavior of ABSAcrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) composites containing RHARice husk ash (RHA) and TiO2TiO2 for various industrial applications.
