Title: Methods and apparatus for additive manufacturing utilizing multifunctional composite materials, and articles made therefrom

Abstract

A method of depositing a multiphase material. The method includes providing a Continuous Multifunctional Composite (CMC) phase containing at least one continuous element in a polymeric matrix, passing the CMC phase through a feeding system containing a cutting system, producing a predetermined length of the CMC phase, providing a flow a molten polymer such that the molten polymer and the CMC phase are merged into a continuous co-extrusion nozzle so as to produce a co-extruded multiphase material, and depositing the co-extruded multiphase material onto a surface. An apparatus for depositing a multiphase material. The apparatus contains a co-extrusion nozzle, a means to introduce a CMC phase and a molten polymer into the co-extrusion nozzle, such that the molten polymer and the CMC phase are co-extruded and deposited on a surface. An article containing a CMC phase containing continuous elements embedded in a polymer resin forming a multiphase structure.
