Abstract: An additive manufacturing powder particle including a surface and at least one functional group formed on the surface, wherein the at least one functional group increases laser energy absorption of the additive manufacturing powder particle. The additive manufacturing particle is treated with plasma radiation to form hydroxyl functional groups on a surface of the additive manufacturing powder particle, where the hydroxyl functional groups have a molecular vibrational frequency corresponding to a laser wavenumber range of laser energy of an additive manufacturing process, and where the plasma radiation treating the additive manufacturing powder particles depends on the laser energy of the additive manufacturing process. Treating the additive manufacturing powder particle with the plasma radiation increases laser energy absorption of the additive manufacturing powder particle when the additive manufacturing particle is exposed to the laser energy, produced by a carbon dioxide laser, of the additive manufacturing process.

Abstract: Illustrative examples of forming material suitable for use in additive manufacturing processes includes operations of: exposing a first polymer powder to a first plasma, such that an amine-functionalized powder is formed; exposing a second polymer powder to a second plasma, such that an epoxide-functionalized powder is formed; and combining the amine-functionalized powder and the epoxide-functionalized powder to form a precursor material. The precursor material is subsequently heated in an additive manufacturing process to form a structure, where heating of the precursor material causes covalent chemical bonds to form between the first polymer powder and the second polymer powder.

Abstract: A method for treating additive manufacturing powder particles is provided. The method includes exposing the additive manufacturing powder particles to plasma radiation, where the plasma radiation forms functional groups, on surfaces of the additive manufacturing powder particles, having molecular bonds that vibrate in response to irradiation by laser energy of an additive manufacturing process, and moving the additive manufacturing powder particles to expose the additive manufacturing powder particles to the plasma radiation.

Abstract: Illustrative examples of forming and using suitably adapted materials for improving interface strength between thermoset-thermoplastic joined parts includes exposure of a thermoplastic substrate to a plasma to form an amine-functionalized substrate having amine chemical moieties disposed on a first surface. The first surface of the thermoplastic substrate is positioned adjacent to and contacts a second surface of a thermoset substrate to form a workpiece. The thermoset substrate includes epoxide chemical moieties on and within material forming the thermoset substrate. The workpiece is subsequently heated to form a structure, where heating of the workpiece causes covalent chemical bonds to form between the plasma-treated first surface of the thermoplastic substrate and the second surface of the thermoset substrate. Thereafter, additional thermoplastic components can be fusion bonded to a surface of the thermoplastic substrate opposite the first surface—thereby providing improved attachment of additional thermoplastic components to the thermoset substrate.

Abstract: Additive manufacturing parts having improved functional properties such as conductivity and absorption are fabricated with a fused filament fabrication process to have a contiguous path of functional nanomaterial embedded within the parts. A first heated filament consisting of a primary polymer material is deposited through a first nozzle and a second heated filament including a secondary polymer material filled with functional nanomaterial is deposited through a second nozzle in one or more layers to form a fabricated additive manufacturing part having at least one void. The second heated filament is embedded within the primary polymer material. A section of the fabricated additive manufacturing part where the secondary polymer material is located is selectively melted and an external isostatic pressure is applied to the fabricated additive manufacturing part to diffuse the secondary polymer material into the void and form a contiguous path of functional nanomaterial within the additive manufacturing parts.

The workpiece is subsequently heated to form a structure, where heating of the workpiece causes covalent chemical bonds to form between the plasma-treated first polymer sheet and the plasma-treaded second polymer sheet.
