This book provides a comprehensive and up-to-date discussion of
breakthroughs on additive manufacturing for plastic material recycling
to boost a circular economy. It offers new ideas of
combining/hybridizing processing methods that work as a source of
information for manufacturers in making new and strategic product
development plans.
Additive Manufacturing for Plastic Recycling: Efforts in Boosting a
Circular Economy provides a critical, comprehensive, methodological, and
strong state-of-the-art work on the processing of thermoplastic and
thermosetting along with new directions and applications. It describes
the common and hybrid approaches of recycling processes and includes
theoretical and practical ideas of combining/hybridizing processing
methods with the use of fused deposition modelling, which is one of the
low-cost additive manufacturing techniques. The book also discusses
mechanical twin-screw extrusion followed by case studies for developing
hybrid composite structures for biomedical and structural applications.
Recent innovations in melt processing for recycling and the fundaments,
process parameters investigations, and applications for new product
development are also presented.
This book is a first-hand reference source of information for academic
scholars and commercial manufacturers for making strategic development
plans for new product development.
