Graphene Coating on Polymer Granules and 3D Printable Filament Fabrication by Melt Extrusion

In this technology graphene was synthesised by a combination of thermal exfoliation and ultra-sonication. This technology also permits flexibility in producing composition as per user demand.

The primary application of these filaments is in the FDM based 3D printing sector, where they potentially replace currently available polymer filaments. They have a wide range of application including bio-medical, automotive and aerospace

The synthesised graphene is coated onto the surface of polymer granules. 3D Process Melt extrusion technique is utilised to develop in-house fabricated filaments of neat PLA, neat ABS and graphene- based PLA.
