Abstract:
A method of forming a three-dimensional object comprises the steps of forming a layer of a particulate composition, selectively depositing a liquid composition onto the layer of the particulate composition in accordance with computer data corresponding to the shape of at least a portion of a three-dimensional object, and repeating the steps a plurality of times to form a three-dimensional object. The particulate composition comprises a plurality of first particles that comprise a resin component comprising a first resin, the first resin comprising a first resin polymerizable group. Either or both of the particulate composition and the liquid composition comprise an initiator capable of initiating polymerization of at least the first resin. At least the first resin undergoes melting and polymerization in a plurality of the locations where the liquid composition has been selectively deposited.

The particulate composition comprises a plurality of first particles that comprise a resin component comprising a first resin, the first resin comprising a first resin polymerizable group, the first resin polymerizable group comprising a carbon-carbon double bond directly attached to an electron withdrawing group, a thermal radical initiator dispersed or dissolved in the resin component, and a retardant dispersed or dissolved in the resin component.
Abstract:
The invention relates to thermosetting powder coating compositions comprising an unsaturated resin comprising ethylenic unsaturations and a thermal radical initiator comprising a first thermal radical initiator, wherein the first thermal radical initiator is a methyl-substituted benzoyl peroxide abbreviated herein as MBPO. The invention further relates to a process for making said thermosetting powder coating composition and processes for coating an article with said thermosetting powder coating composition. The invention further relates to a cured thermosetting powder coating composition derived upon curing of the thermosetting powder coating composition of the invention. The invention further relates to an article having coated thereon said thermosetting powder coating composition as well as to an article having coated and cured thereon said thermosetting powder coating composition. The invention further relates to the use of said thermosetting powder coating composition, to the use of an article having coated thereon said thermosetting powder coating composition and to the use of an article having coated and cured thereon said thermosetting powder coating composition. The invention further relates to cured thermosetting powder coating compositions derived upon curing of the thermosetting powder coating compositions comprising an unsaturated resin comprising ethylenic unsaturations and a first thermal radical initiator, said first thermal radical initiator being methyl-substituted benzoyl peroxide, abbreviated herein as MBPO. The invention further relates to the use of MBPO for thermosetting powder coating compositions and especially wherein the thermosetting powder coating compositions are heat-curable at low temperatures on heat-sensitive articles.
