| Summary: | The advancement of additive manufacturing, otherwise known as 3D printing, had
revolutionize traditional manufacturing with their numerous benefits. With the growing need
for advanced polymeric materials such as polymer composites and blends, 3D printing has the
potential to fill up the gap. Compatibility of polymers had always been an issue when dealing
with polymer blends. This issue is addressed in this report using group contribution method.
Group contribution method is an additive rule which provide fast computation of solubility
parameter with good accuracy. An excel datasheet is designed using molar attraction constants
of Hoy group to investigate the case studies from literature. The experiment shows most of the
polymer blends used in 3D printing are chemically compatible. Overall, the method proves to
be a viable approach to calculate solubility parameter. |
