Abstract:

Polyethersulfone resin (PES)/nano⁃SiO2 composite sintered parts were prepared through selective laser sintering using PES as a matrix and nano⁃SiO2 as a filler. The effect of nano⁃SiO2 content on the surface quality and mechanical properties of the composite sintered parts were investigated. The results indicated that the composite sintered parts presented a little change in the arithmetic mean in the nano⁃SiO2 content range of 0.1~1.0 wt% and then their deviation increased significantly at a nano⁃SiO2 content above 1.0 wt%. The tensile strength and flexural strength of the composite sintered parts increased first and then tended to decrease with an increase in the nano⁃SiO2 content. The tensile strength and bending strength of the composite sintered parts reached a maximum at a nano⁃SiO2 content of 0.5 wt%. Compared to pure PES sintered parts, the composite sintered parts exhibited an increase in tensile strength and bending strength by 22.66 % and 41.51 %, respectively. Their impact strength reached a maximum at a nano⁃SiO2 content of 0.7 wt%, which was increased by 12.10 %.
