The addition of nanoparticles or copolymer grafted nanoparticles (CPGNPs) to polymeric matrices greatly improves thermomechanical properties of the resulting nanocomposite, but corresponding studies of nanocomposite systems created by 3D printing are few, especially in the realm of functional polymeric materials. Here we describe how silica nanoparticle-grafted, random copolymers of poly(methyl methacrylate-random-2-uriedo-[1H]-pyrimidinone methacrylate) (P(MMA-r-UPyMA) dramatically increases the mechanical properties of poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) based nanocomposite specimens created by melt extrusion printing. Most notably, when these novel CPGNPs are combined with PMMA matrix chains via a solution-based process, printed specimens containing only 0.5 wt% additive show significant increases in Young’s modulus (90%), storage modulus (93%), tensile modulus (148%) and ultimate tensile strength (110%). These improvements are ascribed to strengthening of adhesion across interfaces due to multi-point hydrogen bonding between UPyMA groups, the reinforcement effect of the P(MMA-r-UPyMA)-grafted silica nanoparticles, as well as hydrogen bonding interactions and entanglements between graft and matrix chains. Imaging of fracture surfaces after tensile testing reveals that in comparison to nanocomposites created by simple mechanical mixing of solids, the solution-casting process improves the dispersion of nanoparticles and reduces the void spaces between printed roads. These studies demonstrate that introducing functionality into polymer grafts, such as hydrogen bonding interactions, and intimate mixing of polymer-modified nanomaterials can greatly improve interlayer adhesion and mechanical properties, thereby advancing this method of polymer additive manufacturing
