▎ 摘  要

This review provides a comprehensive analysis of available peer-reviewed literature in which graphene and/or its derivatives are incorporated into a polymer matrix in order to enhance the final properties and functionalities of the three dimensional (3D) printed structure. Research in which graphene derivatives have been incorporated into plastic 3D printing technologies such as Fused deposition modeling (FDM), Stereolithography (SLA), Se-lective laser sintering, Inkjet 3D printing, Extrusion-based printing and Binder-jet printing is presented. For certain design requirements and applicability of the material, great care needs to be taken to select the appropriate printing method. Factors which play a key role in final performance of the printed parts are identified, including dispersion of graphene or its derivatives in matrix, interfacial interaction between graphene or its derivatives and matrix, printing orientation, nanofiller's aspect ratio, reduction of graphene oxide and ink viscosity. In fact, the multifunctional applications of the 3D printed structures based on graphene or graphitic filler composites open up the countless possibilities of current research. Although great progress has been made in exploring the mechanical, electrical, optical and thermal, characteristics of these materials, significant research and development need to be done to fully fetch their inherent potential. This article serves the purpose to researchers to improve latest research outcomes and explore new graphene-based nanocomposites for different applications.
