OPEN CHALLENGES IN TENSILE TESTING OF ADDITIVELY MANUFACTURED POLYMERS: A LITERATURE SURVEY AND A CASE STUDY IN FUSED FILAMENT FABRICATION

Additive manufacturing (AM, also commonly termed 3D printing) is progressing from being a rapid prototyping tool to serving as pillar of the Industry 4.0 revolution.Thanks to their low density and ease of printing, polymers are receiving increasing interest for the fabrication of structural and lightweight parts.Nonetheless, the lack of appropriate

Natural products can act as potential GABA modulators, avoiding the undesirable effects of traditional pharmacology used for the inhibition of the central nervous system such as benzodiazepines (BZD).Phenolics, especially flavonoids and phlorotannins, have been considered as modulators of the BZD-site of GABAA receptors (GABAARs), with sedative, an
