Abstract: Additive manufacturing compositions and methods may include a resin stabilized pigment. The pigment may be easily combined with at least one component of a co-reactive system, such as a co-reactive prepolymer formulation, via solid mixing without the need for grinding or additional solvents. The prepolymer formulation may be pigmented, printed, and cured under ambient conditions, and one or more pigments may be incorporated into the composition to change the color of the composition during printing and/or to selectively change the color of the printed article among several colors.

Abstract: Methods of making multilayer systems comprising a sealant layer by extruding a coreactive sealant composition are disclosed. The methods can be used to fabricate multilayer systems in which individual layers have different cured properties. Individual layers can also have an inhomogeneous concentration of one or more constituents within a layer. The multilayer systems can be made using three-dimensional printing that facilitate the use of a wide range of coreactive compositions.

Abstract: A computer system for dynamically controlling printing parameters within a three-dimensional printer receives an indication for printing a target object by the three-dimensional printer. The computer system accesses a materials attribute dataset. The materials attribute dataset describes different material properties of a plurality of thermoset materials or mixtures thereof. Based upon the materials attribute dataset, for each of the plurality of extruders, the computer system selects one or more thermoset materials among the plurality of thermoset materials for each of the plurality of extruder to form an extrudate and determines an extrusion configuration for the selected one or more thermoset materials. The computer system then generates a command to cause the plurality of extruders of the thermoset three-dimensional printer to implement the extrusion configurations for the plurality of extruders while printing the target object.

Abstract: Disclosed is a composition comprising a molecule comprising an electrophilic functional group, optionally a second molecule comprising a nucleophilic functional group, and a thermally conductive filler package. The filler package may comprise thermally conductive, electrically insulative filler particles that may have a thermal conductivity of at least 5 W/m·K (measured according to ASTM D7984) and a volume resistivity of at least 10 ?·m (measured according to ASTM D257, C611, or B193) and that may be present in an amount of at least 50% by volume based on total volume of the filler package. The thermally conductive filler package may be present in an amount of at least 10% by volume percent based on total volume of the composition. The present invention also is directed to a method for treating a substrate and to substrates comprising a layer formed from a compositions disclosed herein.

Abstract: An optical microcavity for a high-contrast display comprises an enclosed cavity having a front wall and a back wall, where the front wall comprises a pinhole opening for emission of light from the cavity and the back wall is configured to generate or transmit light into the cavity. An outer surface of the front wall absorbs some or substantially all optical wavelengths of externally incident light so as to appear black or colored. An inner surface of the front wall comprises a light reflectivity of greater than 90% to promote photon recycling within the cavity and light emission through the pinhole opening.
