Electrical and Magnetic Properties of 3D Printed Integrated Conductive Biodegradable Polymer Nanocomposites for Sustainable Electronics Development
Round 1
Reviewer 1 Report
Having visual data representation of the electrical conductivity and magnetic measurements would help make more sense of the experiment and its result. Is there a frequency dependence on these measurements? Additionally having a brief explanation of manufacturing cost would greatly buttress the viability of mass production.

Reviewer 2 Report
The work is devoted to the actual environmental problem associated with the efficiency of sorting man-made waste. The authors explored the possibility of 3D printing RFID tagging on PLA materials. Despite some positive results, there are a number of significant comments regarding the scientific component of the manuscript.
1. In the introduction, a lot of attention is paid to PLA, although the work related to the application of RFID tags by 3D printing should have been considered.
2. Quality 4 needs to be improved or removed altogether, as it is not related to the main direction of the study.
3. Section Experimental Approach is listed as number 5, although it should be the second. And the subsequent sections, respectively, are shifted by 3 positions.
4. The research methods and equipment used must be placed in the Experimental Approach and Materials and Manufacturing sections.
7. The main drawback of the manuscript is the lack of presentation of any dependencies and the use of rather primitive research methods. For example, it remains a mystery why in one case, with an increase in the length of the coils, in some cases the resistance decreases (R), in others it increases (S), or practically does not change (H)? I suggest that the authors make the Results and Discussion section more saturated with scientific results. Now it is 1 table.

Reviewer 3 Report
Enjoyed reading this paper which is very well written with good flow of story from intro, experiment, and with reasonably good outcomes as results i.e. conductivity of the printed RFID increased 150 times with H shapes and at the same time magnetic properties decreased 4 times compared to the supplied filament. Hope to see further work published in this area making progress from where it is stopped... maybe address on how to improve magnetic properties or balance of achieving both conductivity and magnetic properties.
