Abstract
A fluid system component can include a body that includes a multidimensional shape defined in orthogonal directions and layers stacked along one of the orthogonal directions, where at least one of the layers includes polymeric material and graphene nanoplatelets formed in situ from the polymeric material, and where the graphene nanoplatelets increase stiffness of the polymeric material.
Claims7
A method for forming at least a portion of a component, the method comprising:
- depositing a polymeric material;
- exposing the polymeric material to an energy beam according to a pattern;
- responsive to the exposing, converting at least a portion of the polymeric material to graphene nanoplatelets, wherein the graphene nanoplatelets are arranged according to the pattern, and wherein the pattern corresponds to a pre-determined stiffness analysis pattern, and the stiffness analysis pattern is determined using a computational stress analysis framework;
- and
- depositing additional material on the graphene nanoplatelets to form the at least a portion of the component.
