Highly dispersed, highly filled, low viscosity compositions, methods of making thereof, and uses thereof

Abstract

Highly dispersed, highly filled, low viscosity liquid compositions and uses thereof. A composition can include a carrier fluid, a plurality of nano- and micro-sized particles, and multiple dispersants. A carrier fluid can comprise nonpolar organic liquids. A plurality of particles can comprise inorganic particles. A portion of dispersants can exhibit different association affinities for nano-versus micro-sized particles. A composition can be free of water, other solvents, or diluents. A composition can comprise 30 weight % or greater of particles. A composition can exhibit a consistent viscosity of about 1000 centipoise or lower at about 25° C. A curable composition can comprise curable carrier fluids, such as, for example, monomers and/or oligomers. A composition can be utilized in chemical processing, microfluidics, colloidal fluids, 3D printing, coatings, and other types of additive manufacturing. An object can be made, for example, by vat polymerization 3D printing of one or more curable composition(s).
