T-P-17 (graphic communication) Polymers for 3D printing in graphic art (active in 2023/24)

The scope of the subject is the study of morphology of natural and synthetic polymers, studied in the part of polymer physics, where the cause of differences in physical-mechanical response to internal and external loads of differently oriented macromolecules is explained. The findings define the breadth of possibilities of using already known forms of polymers used in 3D printing techniques, which would encourage in-depth thinking and knowledge about their response to external influences and the creation of new composites, with predetermined final properties such as 4D upgrade. Sustainable thinking of changing the properties of polymers with morphological changes achieved through the modification of a specific 3D printing technique. Development of composites of natural and synthetic building blocks in the form of increasing resistance to environmental influences, while reducing energy demand during printing and the inevitable consideration of a high degree of recyclability in the development of new products and technology upgrades is the level of upgrading and deviation from commercialy developed products.
