hard📝 Application Q9 of 15

3D Printing - Materials for 3D Printing

AIt makes nylon more flammable

BIt increases thermal conductivity and heat resistance

CIt decreases thermal conductivity and lowers melting point

DIt has no effect on thermal properties

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Understand carbon fiber's thermal effects
Carbon fiber improves heat resistance and thermal conductivity of composites.
Step 2: Apply to nylon composite
Adding carbon fiber to nylon increases its ability to conduct heat and resist higher temperatures.
