Title: Low density syntactic foams via material extrusion additive manufacturing

Abstract

An ink formulation for additive manufacturing of low density syntactic foams is described. The ink formulation can include a thermoset resin, a curing agent suitable for use with the thermoset resin, a plurality of hollow spheres, such as glass microballoons, one or more solvents, and one or more non-hollow, viscosity modifying filler. Also described are a method of preparing the ink formulation, a method of preparing three-dimensional objects comprising low density syntactic foams, and the three-dimensional objects prepared thereby.

Method and composition for molding low density desiccant syntactic foam articles

Patent Lula, James W [Bonner Springs, KS]; Schicker, James R [Lee's Summit, MO]

A method and a composition are provided for molding low density desiccant syntactic foam articles. A low density molded desiccant article may be made as a syntactic foam by blending a thermosetting resin, microspheres and molecular sieve desiccant powder, molding and curing. Such articles have densities of 0.2-0.9 g/cc, moisture capacities of 1-12% by weight, and can serve as light weight structural supports.

Carbon Fiber and Syntactic Foam Hybrid Materials via Core–Shell Material Extrusion Additive Manufacturing

Journal Article Pack, Robert C. [Department of Materials Science and Engineering University of Tennessee, Knoxville 1508 Middle Drive Knoxville TN 37996 USA]; Romberg, Stian K. [Department of Mechanical Aerospace, and Biomedical Engineering University of Tennessee, Knoxville 1512 Middle Drive Knoxville TN 37996 USA]; Badran, Aly A. [Department of Aerospace Engineering and Sciences University of Colorado Boulder 3775 Discovery Dr. Boulder CO 80303 USA]; ... - Advanced Materials Technologies

Abstract Biological materials often employ hybrid architectures, such as the core–shell (C–S) motif present in porcupine quills and plant stems, to achieve unique specific properties and performance. Drawing inspiration from these natural materials, a new method to fabricate lightweight and stiff C–S architected filaments is reported. Specifically, a C–S printhead conducive to printing highly loaded fiber‐filled inks, as well as a new low‐density syntactic foam ink, are utilized to 3D‐print C–S architectures consisting of a syntactic epoxy foam core surrounded by a stiff carbon fiber‐reinforced epoxy composite shell.

Method of preparation of removable syntactic foam

Patent Arnold, Jr., Charles (Albuquerque, NM); Derzon, Dora K [Albuquerque, NM]; Nelson, Jill S [Albuquerque, NM]; ...

Easily removable, environmentally safe, low-density, syntactic foams are disclosed which are prepared by mixing insoluble microballoons with a solution of water and/or alcohol-soluble polymer to produce a pourable slurry, optionally vacuum filtering the slurry in varying degrees to remove unwanted solvent and solute polymer, and drying to remove residual solvent. The properties of the foams can be controlled by the concentration and physical properties of the polymer, and by the size and properties of the microballoons. The suggested solute polymers are non-toxic and soluble in environmentally safe solvents such as water or low-molecular weight alcohols. The syntactic foams produced bymore » « less
