(Envision TEC PIC 100 resin)

GO

0.2wt.%GO increased 62.2% and 12.8% the tensile strength and ductility, respectively of the printed composite.

DIW

Polyaniline (PANI)

Specific capacitance of the printed supercapacitor: 1329 mF cm− 2.

[56]

Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS)

The printed device exhibited a resistivity of 1660 Ω.cm at a low GO percolation threshold (0.83 vol.%)

[57]

Epoxy

Graphene

Printed composites with 10 wt.% of graphene presented flexural modulus of 3.2 GPa and bulk resistivity of 1 × 103 Ω.m, i.e., five orders of magnitude lower than that of the neat epoxy.

[58]

SLS

PA

Tensile modulus for PA-rGO compared to PA (221 ± 17 vs 149 ± 26 MPa) and similar tensile strength.

[59]

FDM

ABS

Electrical conductivity increased to 1.78 × 10− 7 and 1.05 × 10− 3 S.m− 1 with the addition of 0.4 and 5.6 wt% of graphene, respectively
