Kurzfassung:
High molecular weight vinyl esters and carbonates based on oligo(ethylene glycol), oligomeric fatty acids and poly(hexamethylene carbonate), as alternatives for potentially cytotoxic acrylate based monomers have been structured by Additive Manufacturing Technologies (AMTs) like Microstereolithography (μ-SLA), Digital Light Processing (DLP) and Two-Photon Induced Photopolymerization (TPIP). With these techniques feature resolutions down to 10 μm (μ-SLA and DLP) or even 200 nm (TPIP) can be obtained.
This new class of monomers exhibits LC 50 values for cytotoxicity up to two orders of magnitude lower than acrylate references. Beside a high reactivity of the resin, the shrinkage and the mechanical properties of the final part material are another essential parameter. Low molecular weight monomers are very reactive and lead to densely cross-linked materials which suffer from high shrinkage and strains within the cured material. Therefore, mixtures of high molecular weight vinyl esters/carbonates with low molecular weight crosslinkers have been evaluated regarding their photoreactivity and mechanical properties.
