摘要:
A 3D-printable blend comprising a thermoplastic elastomer and a polymer. The thermoplastic elastomer is selected from poly(styrene-b-isobutylene-b-styrene) (SIBS), poly(St-b-butadiene-b-St) (SBS), poly(St-b-isoprene-b-St) (SIS), and their hydrogenated derivatives. The polymer is selected from polystyrene (PSt), poly(2,6-dimethyl-1,4-phenylene oxide) (PPO) and blends of PSt and PPO. The blends may be made into filaments suitable for use in the production of 3D printed articles.

The present invention is generally directed to a new class of TPEs made from peptide terminated low Tg polymers and methods for making them. The middle block of these TPE is a telechelic polymer with a Tg that is below the intended service temperature of the TPE. The terminal peptide segments of these TPEs are short (from about 1 to about 10 amino acids long) and tend to from sheet type secondary structures through intermolecular hydrogen bonds, creating physical crosslinks between polymer chains. The dissimilarity of the peptide hard component and the elastomeric soft component results in very strong segregation between the microphase domains and a low plastic deformation for the resulting TPE. And since the Tm of the crystalline peptide phase can be adjusted, these new TPEs may be tailored to fit the intended service temperature and are melt-processable.

A poly(cyclosiloxane) network comprises the hydrosilation reaction product of a cyclosiloxane of the formula (I) wherein R and R2 are the same or different for each siloxane moiety of hydrogen, an alkyl group, an aryl group, and a cycloalkyl group, and wherein n is an integer from 3 to 8, wherein the cyclosiloxanes are joined by moieties selected from the group consisting of oxygen atoms, linear silanols, branched silanols, halosilanes, alkoxysilanes, vinyl silanes, allyl silanes, vinyl siloxanes, and allyl siloxanes, wherein the Si—O bonds of the cyclosiloxanes are substantially unrearranged compared to the cyclosiloxane precursors of the network. A process for the preparation of a poly(cyclosiloxane) network comprises providing a cyclosiloxane; providing a crosslinking group selected from the group consisting of linear silanols, branched silanols, halosilanes, alkoxysilanes, vinyl silanes, allyl silanes, vinyl siloxanes, and allyl siloxanes; contacting the cyclosiloxane and crosslinking group under condensation reaction conditions such that the crosslinking groups provide Si—O—Si linkages between the cyclosiloxane moieties to form a poly(cyclosiloxane) network composition.
