To this end, parts created using AM would benefit from the ability to be developed from feedstock materials incorporating additional functionality. A common three-dimensional (3D) printing polymer, acrylonitrile butadiene styrene, was combined with bismuth and polyvinylidene fluoride via a solvent treatment to fabricate multifunctional composite materials for AM. Composites of varying weight percent loadings were extruded into filaments, which were subsequently 3D printed into blocks via fused filament fabrication. Investigating the material properties demonstrated that in addition to the printed blocks successfully performing as radiation shields, the chemical, thermal, and mechanical properties are suitable for AM. Thus, this work demonstrates that it is possible to enhance AM components with augmented capabilities while not significantly altering the material properties which make AM possible.

Samples with different thicknesses on a support were prepared by an additive manufacturing (or 3D-printing) process, fused filament fabrication. Data are provided that demonstrate that the material is effective to absorb thermal and cold neutrons, and this information will permit calculation of performance as a shielding material. The results show that the attenuation by absorption can be predicted adequately using a simple dependence of the absorption cross-section on the reciprocal of velocity. The scattering at small values of the momentum transfer, Q, is dominated by a Porod law variation, 1/Q(4) that is consistent with particles dispersed in a hydrogenous polymer matrix of low scattering length density. M large momentum transfer, Q > 0.06 angstrom(-1), incoherent inelastic scattering is predominant, and this is seen to increase significantly with the wavelength of the incident neutrons. The new results are described in the context of various possibilities to fabricate shielding or absorbers in complex shapes, to replace the toxic alternative of cadmium and to exploit an engineering plastic as the basis of a neutron absorbing composite.
