Functional fiber-grade 3D printing method based on reactive extrusion

Abstract

The invention relates to a functional fiber-grade 3D printing method based on reactive extrusion. A lactam monomer and / or lactone monomer, an assistant and a plasticizer are fused and have a polymerization reaction under the catalyst effect, a functional agent is added before polymerization or in the polymerization process, and target polymer is obtained; the target polymer is subject to fused deposition 3D printing, and then subject to heat treatment, and a final product is obtained; and according to heat treatment, heat preservation is carried out for 3 min to 60 min at the temperature ranging from 100 DEG C to 180 DEG C. A high-precision high-adapting 3D printer is adopted, the molding precision is high, the efficiency is high, the mechanical property of the product is good, and functional components are good in dispersibility; a technology for directly making the product from the polymeric monomer is adopted, the production flexibility is improved, and meanwhile, the condition that due to crystallization and the large temperature difference of semi-crystalline polymer of nylon, polyester and the like, edge warping is caused, and even printing cannot be carried out is avoided; and the kind of the fused deposition 3D printing material is widened, the quality of the product is improved, and the method has the wide application to the fields of automobile materials, engineering materials, structural parts and the like.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of 3D printing, and relates to a functional fiber-level 3D printing method based on reaction extrusion, in particular to a 3D printing method directly from a monomer to a product. Background technique [0002] 3D printing technology is a rapid prototyping technology that is gradually becoming popular at present. This is a green desktop rapid prototyping technology, which has the advantages of small size, low cost, low pollution, and convenient use. The basic principle is to use polymer materials as the base material, adopt fused accumulation molding or fused deposition molding technology, complete the structure and formation of object pairs by layer-by-layer printing, and finally form products by layer-by-layer stacking, which can be built layer by layer under precise positioning. various three-dimensional objects. [0003] Using the characteristics of 3D printing, it can be controlled by software, and thro...

Problems solved by technology

[0005] From the perspective of existing technology, functional composite materials and products for 3D printing have been reported, but there are still some problems, mainly in the following aspects: Among the polymer raw materials, mainly pre-polymerized materials cannot be quickly regulated The bulk properties of the material; during the 3D printing process, the polymer needs to be remelted, and because the melting tube of the conventional 3D printing is short, in order to ensure the melting of the polymer, the heating temperature needs to be raised to 20-50°C above the melting point of the polymer , this secondary processing process affects the performance of the polymer itself, and it is easy to produce low molecular weight, and bubbles are prone to appear during the printing process, which affects the performance of the part. At the same time, the remelting process is also a waste of energy

In the process of making functionalized 3D printing raw materials, the method of blending is usually used, which is difficult to achieve uniform distribution of functional components, especially nano-scale functional powders are prone to agglomeration during the blending process, resulting in functional Reduced effect and unstable product quality, and may cause nozzle clogging due to accumulation of functional components

For nylon and polyester materials, they have strong water absorption, relatively poor chemical stability, inconvenient storage of materials, and are not suitable for industrialization. These are important factors that limit the development of 3D printing nylon and polyester materials.
