Production, additive printing and mechanical testing of PLA/PHB material with different concentrations of TAC emollient

In order to carry out mechanical testing of samples printed by using additive technology, it is necessary to specify the parameters of the production of filaments, the parameters of 3D printing and the parameters of mechanical testing. In this article, I will discuss the production of filaments, additive technology for printing samples from PLA/PHB material used for detailed mechanical tests and subsequently for evaluation of these mechanical tests. The real-world application of PLA/PHB products bring great benefits. The aim of this paper is to perform mechanical tests on extruded PLA/PHB samples with three different TAC solvent concentrations. Samples were printed using additive technology. The comparison of the results of the pressure and tensile testing carried out on the apparatus also contributed to the success of the research.
