Abstract:

The authors report a family of highly stretchable and UV curable (SUV) elastomer systems that are suitable for UV radiation based 3D printing. They present a printing with a digital light processing (DLP) printer, but the same compns. are suitable for a variety of UV 3D printers, such as SLA, Polyjet, and dispensing, while adjusting the viscosity. The DLP printable SUV elastomer resin formulations were prepd. by mixing a monofunctional monomer consisting of epoxy aliph. acrylate (EAA), and a difunctional cross-linker consisting of aliph. urethane diacrylate (AUD) dild. with 33 wt% of isobornyl acrylate.
