聚合物复合材料由于其独特的特性以及天然和合成增强材料，正成为多种工业应用领域的重要材料。传统的聚合物复合材料制造方法需要机械加工、手工劳动和增加的成本。因此，3D打印技术已经成为科学、工业和公众关注的最前沿，用于对设计、加工参数和时间具有高度控制的复合材料零件的定制制造。然而，3D打印层之间的界面附着力差可能导致材料失效，因此，研究人员正试图通过增加增强剂和自修复能力来提高材料的功能并延长材料的使用寿命。本文综述了用于聚合物复合材料3D打印的不同材料，以提高聚合物材料的机械性能和使用寿命。此外，还讨论了柔性储能设备（FESD）的3D打印，包括电池、超级电容器和使用软材料（聚合物）的软机器人，以及3D打印作为生物工程和地球科学应用平台的应用，使用各种聚合物材料，所有这些都具有改善人类和地球未来条件的巨大潜力。
Polymer composites are becoming an important class of materials for a diversified range of industrial applications due to their unique characteristics and natural and synthetic reinforcements. Traditional methods of polymer composite fabrication require machining, manual labor, and increased costs. Therefore, 3D printing technologies have come to the forefront of scientific, industrial, and public attention for customized manufacturing of composite parts having a high degree of control over design, processing parameters, and time. However, poor interfacial adhesion between 3D printed layers can lead to material failure, and therefore, researchers are trying to improve material functionality and extend material lifetime with the addition of reinforcements and self-healing capability. This review provides insights on different materials used for 3D printing of polymer composites to enhance mechanical properties and improve service life of polymer materials. Moreover, 3D printing of flexible energy-storage devices (FESD), including batteries, supercapacitors, and soft robotics using soft materials (polymers), is discussed as well as the application of 3D printing as a platform for bioengineering and earth science applications by using a variety of polymer materials, all of which have great potential for improving future conditions for humanity and planet Earth.
