PA 12 composites with Graphite and MWCNT produced by SLS, Injection Moulding and Compression Moulding: Performance analysis

This study focused on the study of the influence of graphite and carbon nanotubes (CNTs) in a polymer matrix composite (PMC), in which polyamide 12 (PA12) was used as a matrix, producing samples with three different technologies, namely SLS, IM and CM. The results of this research showed a real influence of graphite and CNTs on the final properties, although the electrical and thermal conductivity has undergone little improvement, not allowing to obtain sufficiently conductive materials.
