Photo-curable elastic ink composition for three-dimensional printing and preparation method thereof

Abstract

The present disclosure provides a photo-curable elastic ink composition for three-dimensional printing and the preparation method. The ink composition includes approximately 10%-75% of a soft monomer, approximately 10%-75% of a hard monomer, approximately 5%-20% of a cross-linking agent, approximately 5%-20% of a non-reactive soft resin, approximately 0.5%-10% of a photo-initiator, approximately 0%-0.5% of a colorant, and approximately 0.05%-8% of an auxiliary agent. The soft monomer is capable of generating a homopolymer with a glass transition temperature lower than about 25° C. The hard monomer is capable of generating a homopolymer with a glass transition temperature of about 25° C. or higher. The non-reactive soft resin is a resin without containing any radiation curable group in the molecular structure and having a glass transition temperature less than 0° C.
