Fig. 11 shows the SEM micrographs of tensile fracture surface of the 3D-
printed samples. The presence of pores is evident and all the pores are
open and interconnected through networks of channel, the layers are
visible and are firmly interconnected.
The mechanical properties of 3D-printing samples in comparison
with conventional compressive samples are investigated by tensile test.
In Fig. 12, though the tensile strength of 3D-printing samples are lower
than that of compressive samples, but still satisfy ordinary requirements
of 3D-printing polymers. Moreover, with an increasing content of 1,2-
propanediol, the tensile strength of 3D-printing samples decrease as
well as that of compressive samples. The elongation at break of the
samples are better than that of compressive samples, indicating the
eminent toughness of materials fabricated through FDM 3D-printing
possesses. Additionally, several 3D-printed products are shown in
Fig. 13, indicating the practicability of the 3D-printing PHPF. Table 6
shows several performances of PHPF-10 in comparison with that of
PLA, PHPF-10 exhibits better thermal stability and toughness than PLA,
which means PHPF-10 deserve to be promising 3D-printing materials.

contact angles of PHPF ranged from 83.8° to 108.1°, implied that they
were transforming from hydrophilic to hydrophobic. The tensile tests
indicated favorable mechanical properties of 3D-printing PHPF. The
SEM micrographs confirmed reliable microstructure of PHPF. The re-
newable sources, perfect toughness and qualified 3D-printing perfor-
mances enable the PHPF to be suitable candidates in 3D-printing ap-
plications.
