Abstract
The present disclosure relates to reinforcing photopolymer resins and uses thereof, e.g., in inkjet 3D printing.
Claims17
A reinforced composition for 3-D ink printing, said reinforced composition comprising:
- a UV-curable matrix material and
- a reinforcing agent,
- wherein the reinforcing agent is at least partially soluble in the UV-curable matrix material and
- wherein the solubility of the reinforcing agent in the UV-curable matrix material decreases as the UV-curable matrix material cures,
- whereby curing the UV-curable matrix material causes the reinforcing agent to form a phase-separate domain in the cured UV-curable matrix material.
2 more elements
A method comprising jetting a layer of ink onto a structure that is being printed and causing dissolved reinforcing agent to precipitate after said layer of ink has been deposited.
