ABS + carbon fibers |
Ning et al. (2015) [119] |
3, 5, 7.5, 10, 15 wt.%; 150 μm and 100 μm in length with a common diameter of 7.2 μm |
150 μm: Maximum tensile strength value—42 MPa at 5 wt.%
150 μm: Maximum Young’s modulus value—2.5 GPa at 7.5 wt.%
Results of 150μm long fibers’ addition are higher than of 100μm long fibers
|
Tekinalp et al. (2014) [118] |
10, 20, 30, 40 wt.%; the fibers’ length—200–400 μm. |
40 wt.% resulted in the clogging of the nozzle (thus the author disregarded the results of the specimens made with 40 wt.%).
Orientation of the fibers was along the load-bearing direction
The increase of tensile strength was from 30 MPa to approximately 60 MPa at 30 wt.%
The increase of tensile modulus was from 2 GPa to approximately 13 GPa at 30 wt.%

Shofner et al. (2003) [117] |
10 wt.% only; the average diameter—100 nm, length—100 μm |
|
ABS + carbon nanotubes (CNT) |
Sezer, H.K., and Eren, O. (2019) [121] |
1, 3, 5, 7, 10 wt.%; average diameter—9.5 nm; average length—1.5 μm; surface area—250–300 m2/g |
Tensile strength increased by 28.8% (up to 58 MPa) at 7 wt.% and raster angle [0, 90]
Young’s modulus increased by 66.8% (up to approximately 1980 MPa) at 10 wt.% and raster angle [0, 90]
Specimens printed at raster angle of [0, 90] performed better in mechanical properties testing than at [−45, 45]
|
Dul et al. (2018) [120] |
1, 2, 4, 6, 8 wt %; average diameter—9.5 nm; average length—1.5 μm; surface area—250–300 m2/g |
|
ABS + ZnO |
Aw et al. (2017) [122] |
8, 11, 14 wt.%; Particle’s size < 100 μm |
|
Torrado et al. (2015) [123] |
2 wt.% only; ZnO nanorods were used (no information about the size) |
|
DulABS + graphene |
Dul et al. (2016) [128] |
2, 4, 8 wt.%; average lateral dimension –5 μm, thickness—6–8 nm, the surface area—120–150 m2/g. |
MFI (Melt Flow Index) was studied, and it was revealed that specimens with 8 wt.% had low MFI, hence the authors disregarded the results of 8 wt.%
Tensile strength decreased from 38.8 to 35.9 MPa at 4 wt.% when specimens were printed horizontally.
Tensile strength decreased from 23.8 to 13.4 MPa at 4 wt.% when specimens were printed vertically.
Young’s modulus increased from 1866 to 2463 MPa at 4 wt.% when specimens were printed horizontally.
Young’s modulus increased from 1687 to 2151 MPa at 4 wt.% when specimens were printed vertically.

PC + ABS + graphene |
Tambrallimath et al. (2019) [116] |
0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8 wt.%; PC:ABS = 70:30; No dimensions of graphene platelets were provided |
|
ABS + OMMT |
Weng et al. (2016) [133] |
1, 3, 5 wt.%; No dimensions of OMMT nanoparticles were given |
OMMT stands for organic modified montmorillonite. Montmorillonite belongs to the group of phyllosilicates.
Tensile strength increased from 27.59 MPa to 39.48 MPa at 5 wt.%
Elastic modulus increased from 1.2 GPa to 3.6 GPa at 5 wt.%
|
ABS + BAK + Al2O3 + SiC |
Singh et al. (2019a) [125] |
BAK: fixed value of 10 wt.%; Al2O3: 0, 5, 10 wt.%; SiC: 0, 5, 10 wt.%; No dimensions were given |
BAK stands for bakelite. It is a thermoset and was used as a filler in ABS matrix for recycling purposes.
For one specimen Al2O3 and SiC were added in the same quantity. For example, 70% of ABS + 10% of BAK + 10% of Al2O3 + 10% of SiC
Maximum strength at peak was 24 MPa at composition of 90%(ABS) + 10%(BAK)
|
Singh et al. (2019b) [126] |
The specimens were studied at different infill ratios and infill speeds.
Maximum tensile strength of reinforced material was slightly less than that of pure ABS: 21.8 and 22.4 MPa respectively.
Maximum tensile strength was observed at composition of 70%(ABS) + 10%(BAK) + 10%(Al2O3) + 10%(SiC); infill ratio of 80 and infill speed of 50 mm/s
