Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
This paper investigates the effects of hygrothermal aging on PA6 filaments used as raw material in fused filament fabrication (FFF). The filaments were subjected to various aging conditions to evaluate their physicochemical and thermomechanical properties. The results show that water was uniformly absorbed at all aging temperatures, although the kinetics of absorption varied. The introduction of water caused an increase in chain mobility, resulting in a decrease in the glass transition temperature, crystallinity, Young’s modulus, tensile strength, and yield strength. These changes in properties followed a consistent trend, with an initial rapid decrease followed by stabilization at a minimum value common to all temperatures. Notably, elongation at break increased sevenfold at the highest temperature. Compared to samples printed with unaged filaments, those produced with aged filaments exhibited a decrease in mechanical properties.
