| dc.description | Incorporating eco-friendly materials into interior and furniture design is a much sought-after objective among practitioners in the field [1]. Designers consistently strive to explore new concepts and inventive applications, particularly in furniture and product design. The rapid growth in sustainable design technologies has prompted exploration into alternative, eco-friendly materials for various applications, including 3D printing filaments. In conjunction with furniture and interior design, the utilization of 3D printing technology extends to acoustic applications, facilitating the production of sound-absorbing panels and materials that augment the aural ambiance inside various environments. The adaptability of 3D printing has rendered it a significant tool for interior designers in their pursuit of novel project solutions. In addition, conventional wood joints in furniture manufacturing can be replaced with 3D printed connectors, allowing designers to create new products with no restrictions on size, shape, and quantity of joints or color . | |
| dc.description.abstract | A designer’s work is based on creativity, innovation, and fresh ideas therefore, they are constantly searching for creative designs, especially when it comes to furniture and internal design. Meanwhile, innovative materials and ideas are actively sought after by designers for usage in furniture and interior design. In this scope, our study explores the practical implications of using date palm fronds and plastic waste from drinking water bottle to create a composite with varying loadings of date palm frond nanoparticles (DPFNP) at 10, 20, and 30 wt % and its applications on furniture design. A desktop extruder was used to form the composites into filaments, which were subsequently used to create 3D-printed specimens. The impact of adding (DPFNP) on the composite’s mechanical, thermal, and chemical properties was assessed. Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) drinking water bottle waste, and filament composites presented similar FTIR spectra; however, filament composites presented increased thermal stability and mechanical strength. The filament with 10 wt% DPFNP has been effectively printed with a 3D printer, demonstrating the practicality of employing the developed filaments and perhaps encouraging new uses in furniture and interior design. As a result, employing DPFNP in the recycled PET (RPET) matrix offers a cheap substitute for making filaments. It could increase the use of 3D printing in furniture and interior design by using more environmentally friendly materials. This result will be considered the first phase of future research investigation on a full-scale furniture prototype, examining its physical, thermal, and mechanical properties.
