Abstract :In this study, various nano and micro particles with different properties, including density, surface area, purity and particle morphology were used as reinforcement particles for the production of polymer composite filaments to be used for 3D printing. Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(ABS); was matrix material and Multi wall carbon nanotubes insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(MWCNTs);, SiO2, ZrB2, and, Al particles were reinforcements. Production of the composite filaments was carried out by using a twin screw extruder. Produced composite filaments were characterized via Differential Scanning Calorimeter insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(DSC);, Scanning Electron Microscope insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(SEM);, Energy-Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(EDS);, tensile test and surface roughness tests. Results showed that addition of micro/nano particles into ABS matrix improved the Ultimate Tensile Strength insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(UTS); of the composites by around 16% compared to non-reinforced one. As a result of reinforcing with micro particles, ZrB2 and Al, the tensile strain of neat-ABS filament increased by 17.8% and 40%, respectivelyKeywords : Additive manufacturing, polymer, ABS, composite, filament, FDM
