  • Publication number: 20220134641
    Abstract: Radiation curable compositions for additive fabrication with improved toughness are described and claimed. Such resins include a rubber toughenable base resin package and a liquid, phase-separating toughening agent. The rubber toughenable base resin, which may possess a suitably high average molecular weight between crosslinks and may be a pre-reacted hydrophobic macromolecule, may further include a cationically polymerizable component, a radically polymerizable component, a cationic photoinitiator, a free radical photoinitiator, and customary additives. Also described and claimed are methods for forming a three-dimensional objects using such radiation curable compositions for additive fabrication with improved toughness, along with the three-dimensional parts created therefrom.

  • Patent number: 10400057
    Abstract: Described herein are thermoset compositions suitable for hybrid polymerization when processed via additive fabrication equipment utilizing sources of actinic radiation with peak spectral intensities in the UV and/or visible region containing a photoinitiating package, a cationically curable constituent, a free-radically curable component, and optionally, one or more additives. Such thermoset compositions preferably contain a Norrish Type I photoinitiator that is an alkyl-, aryl-, or acyl-substituted compound centered around a Group 14 atom, and further possesses specified ranges of ionization potential values with respect to its known triplet state. Also disclosed are methods of creating three-dimensional parts via additive fabrication processes utilizing sources of actinic radiation with peak spectral intensities in the UV and/or visible regions employing the claimed thermosetting compositions, along with the parts cured therefrom.
