3D printing LDPE/lunar regolith simulant composite: manufacturing with in-situ resources on the moon
Review state
needs review
Tensile testing shows increased stiffness without compromising strength up to 20 wt% regolith.
While tensile testing investigates the effects of regolith content and extrusion method on mechanical properties.
Two of the more important tests would be tensile testing and 3-point bending testing, to further evaluate its potential use as a structural material.
