Biorefining of Wood-Fibre Raw Material in a Material Composition for Additive Technologies

  • Published:
Fibre Chemistry Aims and scope

The research is aimed at solving the problem associated with the complexity of using fibres from wood waste as a raw material for a rapidly developing additive technology. The ability to adapt wood-fibre composite material to additive technologies will provide the industry with an annual growth of more than 20% with a new type of inexpensive biodegradable material. To solve the problem, an analysis of literature sources describing 3D printing methods and composite materials used in additive technologies was carried out. A combination of two methods of extrusion printing with a polymer filament and a paste-like composition containing wood-fibre waste is proposed. The prototypes were produced using a two-extruder 3D printer. The morphological characteristics of the fibrous composite material made of pine wood were previously studied using a particle analyser and scanning electron microscopy. The strength of samples made from different types of multicomponent polymers with different content of fibrous composite material from wood waste was also studied. Recommendations on the use of a polymer composition containing pine wood fibres for 3D printing in the manufacture of decorative products of complex shape for furniture are given.
