This study investigates the effects of thermal treatment and silvernanoparticles on the mechanical and thermal properties of additivelymanufactured wood/polylactic acid (PLA) specimens. The 5 and 10 wt%additions of the wood flour into the PLA matrix are done in the twin screwextruder. The test specimens are produced from the filaments with a diameterof 1.75 mm using 3D printer. The mechanical properties of the 3D-printedwood/PLA specimens are affected by the wood flour content, thermaltreatment of wood, and silver nanoparticles. The 3D-printed neat PLAspecimens have better mechanical properties than the wood flour-filled PLAspecimens. The bending strength of the specimens enhances with increasingwood flour content while the tensile strength decreases. The increases in themechanical properties reveal that the thermal treatment of the wood improvesthe compatibility between wood and PLA matrix, which hereby improves theinterfacial adhesion. The addition of the silver nanoparticles positively affectsthe mechanical properties and it is more compatible with thermally modifiedwood particles as compared to the untreated wood particles.
