Silicone rubber composite material for fused deposition 3D printing and preparation method thereof

Abstract

The invention discloses a silicone rubber composite material for fused deposition 3D printing and a preparation method thereof. The invention discloses the silicone rubber composite material which canbe used in a fused deposition 3D printing process, has adjustable hardness, and has a fatigue resistant function, and a preparation method thereof. The composite material comprises the following components in parts by mass: 45.7-58.0 parts of a silicone rubber, 5.0-7.0 parts of a modified PVB, 20.0-28.0 parts of white carbon black, 10.0-15.0 parts of calcium phosphate, 2.0-5.0 parts of a EPDM graft, 0.5-1.2 parts of an amino-silane coupling agent, 0.5-1.0 part of a crosslinking agent, and 1.0-2.0 parts of a lubricant. Through rheological extruder blending and reaction compatibilization, compatibility of the silicone rubber, the bonding resin PVC with the inorganic reinforcing materials is improved, so that the silicone rubber composite material is endowed with good mechanical properties,fatigue resistance and adjustable hardness. The product is particularly suitable for production of fused deposition 3D printed dental medical equipment.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of polymer materials and their molding processing, in particular to a silicone rubber composite material used for fused deposition (FDM) 3D printing and a preparation method thereof. Background technique [0002] With the development and progress of society, people will put more social wealth into various social activities to obtain high-quality and healthy life. Especially with the improvement of medical level and the continuous update of human health cognition in related research fields, people are gradually focusing on the health care and repair of the oral cavity, especially the masticatory system. Because the continuously improved living standards have not only improved people's quality of life and physical fitness, but also brought great pressure to the chewing system, especially the teeth. [0003] At present, the domestic medical system and management system determine that the treatment of dental caries and t...

However, this type of light-curing material also has many disadvantages, such as high brittleness, and sometimes it will be damaged during the implementation process, which will cause certain psychological pressure on the patient accordingly.

Moreover, even if it has passed the relevant strict medical certification, such polymer materials are not fully cross-linked due to the artificial operation of the equipment manufacturer, resulting in incomplete cross-linking of the material during the photo-curing process, and there will still be trace amounts of monomers or oligomers remaining in the equipment, its unpleasant smell can also make patients feel uncomfortable

Although the industry intends to use polypropylene and polyolefin elastomers as 3D printing materials, and has done a lot of exploration, due to the large shrinkage rate of polyolefin materials and poor thermal conductivity, a large number of shrinkage cavities appear when preparing printing wires. and other defects, the melt solidification / solidification rate is slow during the printing process, which affects the printing accuracy
