Key Points

  • To develop a dynamic thiol-ene resin enhanced with micro-sized PLA particles for 3D printing.
  • Formulated a dynamic thiol-ene resin suitable for vat photopolymerisation 3D printing.
  • Incorporated micro-sized PLA particles into the resin.
  • Evaluated the mechanical properties and processing capabilities of the final composite.
  • The addition of PLA particles significantly improved the mechanical strength of the composites.
  • Dynamic thiol-ene resins exhibited enhanced processability during 3D printing.
  • The composites demonstrated promising sustainability characteristics through the upcycling of PLA.

Abstract

A dynamic thiol-ene resin processable by vat photopolymerisation 3D printing is formulated and reinforced with micro-sized polylactic acid (PLA) particles to combine thermoplastic upcycling with the unique features of a...
