Broadening the range of materials available to 3D print accurately and reliably via extrusion-based printing techniques is key diversifying into advanced applications. One leading aim achieve higher temperature resistance from material-extrusion (MatEx) printed parts, whilst maintaining strength. To this end, several feedstock filaments based on polyester have recently been commercialised, with...

Abstract Various copolymers incorporated with β-substituted acrylates, such as alkyl crotonates (e.g., methyl crotonate (MC), ethyl (EC), isopropyl (iPC), and n -butyl (nBC)) cinnamate (MCin), were synthesized by group-transfer polymerization (GTP) using a silicon-based Lewis acid catalyst. In addition to α-substituted acrylates methacrylate (MMA) (nBMA)) examined comonomers. Proton nuclear mag...

Chemical recycling of plastic waste has promise as a complementary technology to increase eco-efficiency plastics life cycles. Accumulation impurities in feed streams can affect sensitive compounds such the Ziegler–Natta catalyst systems commonly used produce polyolefins high density polyethylene (HDPE) and linear low (LLDPE). In poison study, influence impurities—more specifically NO N2O—on sy...
