摘要:
When making parts by additive manufacturing, particularly by fused filament fabrication, it is sometimes necessary to include a removable support during part fabrication due to the shape of the part. An overhang, for instance, may be fabricated using a support structure, which is subsequently eliminated following polymer matrix consolidation. Elimination of a removable support following part fabrication may be problematic in some instances. Polymer filaments suitable for forming removable supports during additive manufacturing may comprise at least one imide polymer having at least partial solubility in aqueous fluids. Imide polymers may include, for example, polyimides and polyesterimides. Additive manufacturing processes may comprise forming a supported part by depositing a build material and a removable support comprising an imide polymer, wherein at least a portion of the build material is deposited upon the removable support. An unsupported part may be formed following exposure of the supported part to an aqueous fluid.

Additive manufacturing processes featuring consolidation of thermoplastic particulates may form printed objects in a range of shapes. Inorganic nanoparticles disposed upon the outer surface of the thermoplastic particulates may improve flow performance of the thermoplastic particulates during additive manufacturing, but may be undesirable to incorporate in some printed objects. Polymer nanoparticles may be substituted for inorganic nanoparticles in some instances to address this difficulty and provide other advantages. Particulate compositions suitable for additive manufacturing may comprise: a plurality of thermoplastic particulates comprising a thermoplastic polymer and a plurality of polymer nanoparticles disposed upon an outer surface of the thermoplastic particulates, the polymer nanoparticles comprising a crosslinked fluorinated polymer.

Disclosed herein is a method for manufacturing a fluorinated structured organic film (FSOF) composition for a photoreceptor. The method includes combining a fluorinated diol, an electroactive segment and a solvent in a round bottom reactor. The reacted is heated, without mixing dissolve the fluorinated diol composition. The dissolved fluorinated diol composition is mixed to dissolve the electroactive segment while maintaining the reactor at a temperature of between 80 and 85 °C. A catalyst and a leveling agent are added to the solution to initiate a pre-cure reaction. The pre-cure reaction proceeds for at least 2 hours at a temperature of between 80 and 85 °C. The solution is cooled to room temperature and filtered.
