Abstract

The effect of functional additives—short carbon fibers and magnetite—on the mechanical properties of ABS plastic has been studied. It has been established that the maximum increase in the mechanical strength of an ABS plastic sample is observed with the introduction of 3 wt % magnetite. It is shown that the combined introduction of short carbon fiber and magnetite led to a 25% increase in strength compared to pure ABS. The effect of additives on the change in the glass-transition temperature as an important parameter of polymer composites used in additive manufacturing has been studied.
