Özet
In this study, the effects of the post-ultraviolet-curing process on the flexural, absorptive, and morphological properties of poly(lactic acid) specimens produced using a fused deposition modelling technique 3D printer were experimentally investigated. In this direction, 15, 30, 45, and 60 min post-UV-curing processes were applied to poly(lactic acid) three-point bending and absorption specimens produced at 190 and 200 degrees C. Three-point bending tests and morphological analyses were applied after the post-ultraviolet-curing process, and absorption tests were applied by immersing the post-ultraviolet-cured specimens in a distilled water bath for 1-, 3-day, and 1-, 2-, and 4-week exposure times. The changes in flexural strain properties for each experimental parameter were also simulated by the computer-aided finite element analysis and compared with the experimental results. It was observed that the post-ultraviolet-curing process increased the flexural strength of the poly(lactic acid) specimens produced at both 190 and 200 degrees C with the same increasing trend up to 30 min of exposure, and the most significant increase was determined in the specimens that were subjected to post-ultraviolet-curing for 30 min. Although the flexural strengths of the post-ultraviolet-cured specimens were higher than the non-cured specimens in all conditions, it was detected that they tended to decrease after 30 min.
