AB  - As a promising industrial thermoplastic polymer material, high-density 
      polyethylene (HDPE) possesses distinct properties of ease to process, good 
      biocompatibility, high recyclability, etc. and has been widely used to make 
      packaging, prostheses and implants, and liquid-permeable membranes. Traditional 
      manufacturing processes for HDPE, including injection molding, thermoforming, and 
      rotational molding, require molds or post processing. In addition, part shapes 
      are highly restricted., Thus, fused deposition modeling (FDM) is introduced to 
      process HDPE materials to take advantage of FDM's free of design, no mold 
      requirement, ease and low cost of processing. To improve the mechanical 
      properties (such as stiffness and strength) and thermal resistance of HDPE, 
      carbon fiber (CF) was incorporated into HDPE, and CF-reinforced HDPE composites 
      were successfully fabricated using FDM process. In addition, the effects of CF 
      content on surface quality, microstructure characterizations, tensile properties, 
      dynamic mechanical properties, and thermal properties have been investigated. 
      Experimental results show that an appropriate CF content addition is beneficial 
      for improving surface quality, and mechanical and thermal properties.
