Development of Printability of Bio-Composite Materials Using Luffa cylindrica Fiber
This study examined the surface adhesion of ink on bio-composite materials that were produced using Luffa cylindrica fiber and epoxy. To increase the ink adhesion on the surface, two different production methods were developed. The surface roughness and the surface contact angle of the bio-composite...
