Summary: This work presents the design and preparation of composites based on a high impact acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene polymer matrix. The addition of aluminium microparticles or graphite nanoplatelets improves the conductivity of the materials. The composites were obtained using twin-screw extrusion and their performance in fused filament fabrication was tested and compared with conventional manufacturing methods. Characterization of the composites was conducted in terms of structure, composition, and thermal/electrical properties.

Summary: The additive manufacturing process often leads to the deterioration of mechanical properties. However, this investigation found that glycol-modified polyethylene terepthalate processed through Fused Deposition Modelling (FDM) showed improved wear resistance, making it suitable for light-duty motion applications. Annealing the samples further decreased wear rate, while printing in a dry nitrogen environment inhibited the wear improvement caused by material oxidation.

Summary: This paper investigates the porosity and flexural strength of thermoplastic polymer parts fabricated by FDM. Experimental results show that the nozzle temperature, print speed, and raster width significantly influence the porosity and flexural strength of the parts. Regression models are developed to predict the responses, and the microstructure of fractured specimens is studied using a scanning electron microscope. Optimization of process variables is performed to minimize porosity and maximize flexural strength using the desirability function approach.

Summary: This research focuses on using femtosecond laser polishing to post-process the surfaces of additively manufactured parts. The challenge of removing three levels of roughness was identified and addressed. By fine-tuning the laser power, control over the submicron surface features and the final achievable surface roughness was achieved.

Summary: This paper investigates the 3D printing of poly vinyl alcohol (PVA) using the fused deposition modeling (FDM) process. The study focuses on varying the infill percentage and patterns as input parameters and measuring modulus, elongation at break, and weight as experimental responses. The results show that both input parameters significantly affect the output responses. The Design Expert software is used to identify the optimal parameters and analyze their interactions.

Summary: Fused Deposition Modelling (FDM) is a rapidly developing additive manufacturing technology that can produce complex shapes in a short time. However, the mechanical properties of FDM printed parts are weaker than conventionally manufactured products. This review focuses on fiber reinforcement to improve the mechanical, thermal and electrical properties of FDM printed parts. Different fiber types, fiber insertion techniques, and manufacturing methods are discussed. Three different methods of embedding fibers in thermoplastics are briefly reviewed, and the performance of the composites produced by these methods is discussed.

Summary: This systematic review and meta-analysis evaluated the effect of combining pain neuroscience education (PNE) with exercise therapy for chronic musculoskeletal pain. The findings suggest that combining PNE and exercise leads to greater short-term improvements in pain, disability, kinesiophobia, and pain catastrophizing compared to exercise alone.

Summary: This study aims to investigate the correlations and differences of different definitions of pelvic tilt for education and research purposes. The results show that sacral slope (SS) has no correlation with the other three pelvic tilt definitions, except for specific conditions in female patients. There is a strong linear correlation between the center of femoral heads to sacral plate (PTm) and pelvic outlet (PTh). The study provides a simple linear regression equation for converting and comparing different definitions of pelvic tilt.
