Ultrasonic Welding of Additively Manufactured PEEK and Carbon-Fiber-Reinforced PEEK with Integrated Energy Directors

The thermoplastic polymer polyether ether ketone (PEEK) offers thermal and mechanical properties comparable to thermosetting polymers, while also being thermally re-processable and recyclable as well as compatible with fused filament fabrication (FFF). In this study, the feasibility of joining addit...
