Mechanical properties and fracture characterization of additive manufacturing polyamide 12 after accelerated weathering

The additive manufacturing (AM) methods, selective laser sintering (SLS) and multi jet fusion (MJF), are increasingly used for end-use polymer parts. Chemical reactions caused by ionizing radiation and catalyzed by oxygen, moisture, and heat are known to degrade the polymer structure, result in visu...
