Abstract :
In this paper, a polymer matrix composite method by mixing printable polymer with a number of possible nanoparticles is investigated to achieve artificially controlled effective electromagnetic properties for 3D additive manufacturing applications. The material properties are evaluated using effective medium theory. The results show that this method can achieve robust electromagnetic property control with various nanoparticle fillings.
