How Does the Surface Topography of a Green Composite Affectits Printability?

Abstract

In this study, the effect of surface topography of luffa fiber reinforced green composite materials on its printability was investigated. For this purpose, bio-composite plates using luffa fiber as reinforcement and epoxy as the matrix were produced. Then, printing such as line and dot on the surfaces of these plates was carried out by the screen printing method. Before and after printing, the surface roughness values of the produced bio-composites were measured using 3D non-contact optical profilometer. Afterward, to validate these measurements and to check the printing quality, 3D Optical Profilometer was used to scan the surface roughness of bio-composite materials. According to the obtained results, the improvement of the composite surface topography is increase surface smoothness. With this result, it is clearly understood that the surface smoothness is the main parameter of printability for the resulting image clarity.
