Published purpose

In this project, our research group at Colorado State University will collaborate to develop new additive manufacturing techniques for freeform printing of polymer nanocomposites. We will use direct ink writing (DIW) method to dispense the prepared nano-modified resin ink and simultaneously cure it following the extrusion from the printing nozzle via frontal polymerization. Various characterization techniques will be used to determine and optimize the rheological and thermochemical properties of the nano-modified ink. The printing process and parameters will be precisely tuned to enable freeform printing of polymer nanocomposites with a high dimensional fidelity.
