Material Evaluation and Process Optimization of CNT-Coated Polymer Powders for Selective Laser Sintering

Multi-walled carbon nanotubes (CNTs) as nano-reinforcements were introduced to facilitate the laser sintering process and enhance the thermal and mechanical properties of polymeric composites. A dual experimental-theoretical method was proposed to evaluate the processability and predict the process...
