Abstract
A method and resins for use with three-dimensional printing systems and/or other energy-curing devices to create 3-D objects having electrical conductivity. The resins comprise an initiator, a photopolymerizable agent, and a nanocarbon, particularly, single-walled carbon nanotubes. The initiator, photopolymerizable agent, and nanocarbon are mixed and agitated without fully solubilizing the nanocarbon so as to maintain the electrically conductive property.
Claims19
An energy-curable resin used to create electrically-conductive objects, comprising:
- a. a photoinitiator;
- b. a polymerizable agent;
- and
- c. nanocarbon comprising any one of a carbon nanotube, a graphene, a fullerene, nanodiamonds or any combination thereof, wherein the nanocarbon makes up about 0.01% to about 4% of the total weight of the resin.
