Circular Light-Based 3D Printable Lipoate-based Polymers
The high speed and accuracy of photopolymer additive manufacturing methods are enabling the transition of their use from prototyping to production. While these manufacturing methods have advanced significantly over recent years, this has not been matched by developments in photopolymer resin technology, which remains based on petrochemical sourced materials and produces waste that cannot be recycled. CIRCLIPO will deliver high modulus, photocurable polymers for application in production scale circular additive manufacturing. The materials design leverages renewably sourced, Lipoic acid, to generate materials that can be printed, and then depolymerised at the end of their useful life to…
