Abstract

Extrusion-based additive manufacturing methods, such as direct-write of carbon fiber-reinforced epoxy inks, have become an attractive route toward development of structural composites in recent years, because of emerging techniques such as big area additive manufacturing. The development of improved materials for these methods has been a major focus area; however, an understanding of the effects of the printing process on the structural and dynamic recovery in printed materials remains largely unexplored. Here, our goal is to capture multiscale and temporal morphology and dynamics within thermosetting composite inks to determine the parameters during the printing process that influence the recovery of the printed material. Herein, we use X-ray photon correlation spectroscopy in small-angle scattering geometry to reveal both morphology and recovery dynamics of a nanoparticle (layered-silicate Cloisite 30B) in a thermoset epoxy resin (EPON 826) during the printing process in real time. Our results show that the dynamics of the layered silicate particles during recovery are anisotropic and slow down to behavior which is characteristic of aging in colloidal clay suspensions around tage ≈ 12 s. The dynamics and alignment of the particles during recovery were tempo-spatially mapped, and the recovery post printing was shown to be strongly influenced by themore »« less

Self Assembly-Assisted Additive Manufacturing: Direct Ink Write 3D Printing of Epoxy-Amine Thermosets

Journal Article Manning, Kylie B. ; Wyatt, Nicholas B. ; Hughes, Lindsey Gloe ; ... - Macromolecular Materials and Engineering

The use of self–assembling, pre–polymer materials in 3D printing is rare, due to difficulties of facilitating printing with low molecular weight species and preserving their reactivity and/or functions on the macroscale. Akin to 3D printing of small molecules, examples of extrusion–based printing of pre–polymer thermosets are uncommon, arising from their limited rheological tuneability and slow reactions kinetics. The direct ink write (DIW) 3D printing of a two–part resin, Epon 828 and Jeffamine D230, using a self–assembly approach is reported. Through the addition of self–assembling, ureidopyrimidinone–modified Jeffamine D230 and nanoclay filler, suitable viscoelastic properties are obtained, enabling 3D printing of themore »« less

Structural stability of thin overhanging walls during material extrusion additive manufacturing of thermoset-based ink

Journal Article Romberg, Stian K. ; Abir, Abrian I. ; Hershey, Christopher J. ; ... - Additive Manufacturing

Recent developments have enabled material extrusion additive manufacturing of thermoset-based composite inks on the large scale. In addition, printing out-of-plane components is of broad interest to the polymer material extrusion community. Here, we address some of the challenges associated with both large-scale and out-of-plane thermoset material extrusion additive manufacturing by studying the height at which thin overhanging walls collapse. Walls at a range of overhang angles were printed until they collapsed. An optical camera captured the profile of each wall throughout the print, allowing the collapse height to be identified and the geometric fidelity to the programmed angle to bemore »« less

Additive manufacturing of nanotube-loaded thermosets via direct ink writing and radio-frequency heating and curing

Journal Article Sarmah, Anubhav ; Desai, Suchi K. ; Crowley, Ava G. ; ... - Carbon

Direct Ink Writing (DIW) is an extrusion-based additive manufacturing method where the print medium is a liquid-phase ‘ink’ dispensed out of nozzles and deposited along digitally defined paths. Conventional DIW of thermosetting resins relies on viscosity modifying agents, novel crosslinking chemistries, and/or long curing schedules in an oven. Here we demonstrate the use of a co-planar radio frequency applicator to generate an electric field, which can be used to rapidly heat and cure nano-filled composite resins as they are printed. This method avoids the need for an oven or post- curing step. This process consists of a sequential print-and-cure cyclemore »« less

Linking thermoset ink rheology to the stability of 3D-printed structures

Journal Article Romberg, Stian K. ; Islam, Mohammad A. ; Hershey, Christopher J. ; ... - Additive Manufacturing

Thermoset polymer composites show promise for additive manufacturing (AM) applications to address some of the limitations of the more widely used thermoplastic feedstock materials. Thermosets offer attractive mechanical properties while providing excellent interlayer bonding, high thermal and chemical stability, and reduced energy consumption as a result of deposition at room temperature. However, since thermoset resins rely on a crosslinking reaction to solidify, rather than quickly cooling like thermoplastics, viscoelastic properties must be relied upon to maintain deposited shape after deposition until crosslinking can occur. This fact has not impeded development and characterization of new thermoset feedstocks on the small scale,more »« less

Characterization of micro-sandwich structures via direct ink writing epoxy based cores

Journal Article Smith, Zane J. ; Barsoum, Demiana R. ; Arwood, Zachariah L. ; ... - Journal of Sandwich Structures & Materials

Sandwich structured (SS) composites demonstrate considerable flexural stiffness and high strength-to-weight ratios and can be tailored as functional materials. Historically they have been constrained to specific material types and geometry due to limitations in manufacturing methods. However, employing additive manufacturing (AM), specifically direct ink writing (DIW), can provide an alternative method for making SS composites with complex and controllable micro and mesostructures with multifunctionality targeted at desired mechanical, thermal, and electrical properties. DIW, an extrusion-based AM technique, uses a viscous and thixotropic ink with desired components that, once printed, is cured to obtain the final complex net shape parts. Inmore »« less
