Article Description

In this work, novel acrylate-based photosensitive resins designed for vat photopolymerization (VPP) are prepared to fabricate 3D-printed monolithic structure for water technology. The formulation consisting of poly (ethylene glycol) diacrylate (PEGDA), plant-based resin was prepared with addition of 2 different comonomers, 1,4-butanediol diacrylate (BDDA) and 1,6-hexanediol diacrylate (HDDA). The influence of comonomer concentration on the thermomechanical properties is systematically investigated. 3D-printed monolithic structure was further grafted with silane coupling agent to enhance the moisture absorption and hydrophobicity to be applied for water environment. The result showed that PEGDA with 3wt.% of HDDA has greatest Young’s modulus (595.77MPa), tensile strength (3.08 MPa), and elongation at break (11.2%), whereas PEGDA with 3wt. % of BDDA has the highest storage modulus (306 MPa). Surface grafting with single silane agent on the 3D-printed monolithic structure was identified to have a more balance effect than hybrid silane coupling agent for the lowering of moisture absorption and increase the hydrophobicity behavior without causing any cracking in the inner truss. The 3D-printed monolith functionalized with silane grafted GLYMO achieved a Young’s modulus and tensile strength of 601.78MPa and 9.34 x 106 MPa respectively. The synergistic effect of 3D-printed monolith with silane coupling agent was identified to have stable chemical and mechanical for practical application in water.
