Chemical degradation of 3d printed polymers

This template describes the features of the components created by additive technology called 3d printing. The material tested was PETG. This is a very popular print material. Normalized samples in the fish bone shape with a 20% grid fill were tested. The tested samples were subjected to chemical degradation in various types of environments and subsequently a tensile test was performed. The result of the research is the influence of the degradation factor on the mechanical properties of these samples and possible use in practice, specifically in agriculture.
