Abstract: A process for additive manufacture of an article comprises conveying a material through a heated nozzle to form a flowing mass of the material. The material comprises a polymer matrix including a plurality of polymeric chains and an alignment additive dispersible within the polymer matrix. The alignment additive is configured to align the plurality of polymeric chains in a flow direction of the flowing mass of the material. The process further comprises aligning at least a portion of the polymeric chains, via the alignment additive, along a direction of flow through the heated nozzle, releasing the flowing mass of the material from the heated nozzle, and allowing the material to solidify.

Abstract: A method of making a nano-reinforcement filler material for an epoxy resin system for a composite structure is provided. The method includes forming a polymer suspension of polymer nanoparticles suspended in deionized (DI) water, and sonicating the polymer suspension. The method includes forming a graphene oxide (GO) suspension of GO sheets suspended in DI water, and sonicating the GO suspension. The method includes mixing the sonicated polymer suspension and the sonicated GO suspension to obtain a sonicated mixture. The method includes heating the sonicated mixture in an inert atmosphere at an effective temperature, and using an electrostatic process to uniformly wrap individual polymer nanoparticles with individual GO sheets, via an electrostatic interaction reaction, to obtain the nano-reinforcement filler material comprising polymer-GO core-shell nanoparticles. The method includes washing and drying the nano-reinforcement filler material, and using it in the epoxy resin system for the composite structure.

Abstract: A tool for use during double sided incremental forming of a workpiece. The tool includes a sleeve with a hollow interior space. A contact member is positioned within the hollow interior space of the sleeve. The contact member is sized with a working tip positioned outward beyond the sleeve to contact against a workpiece. A mount is positioned on the opposing end of the sleeve and configured to connect to a tool holder. The tool is configured to provide for translational and/or rotational movement of the contact member. The axial and rotational movement provides for the working tip to remain in contact with the workpiece during the forming process.
