A review of fused deposition modelling for 3D printing of smart polymeric materials and composites

Over the last 10 years, a dispersion of applications of additive manufacturing (AM) into various fields has emerged. One area in which AM has created a surge of research interest and innovation in recent years relates to the fabrication of smart materials, which is fueled by the ever-broadening scope of deployment of functional devices. As researchers embrace this new paradigm, the spread merits a careful appraisal of the trends to understand...
