摘要: Additive manufacturing processes, such as powder bed fusion of thermoplastic particulates, may be employed to form printed objects in a range of shapes. Formation of printed objects having various colors may sometimes be desirable. Thermoplastic particulates incorporating a color-changing material capable of forming different colors under specified activation conditions may impart different colors to a printed object. Such particulate compositions may comprise a plurality of thermoplastic particulates comprising a thermoplastic polymer and a color-changing material associated with the thermoplastic particulates, wherein the color-changing material is photochromic and thermochromic. Conjugated diynes, such as 10,12-pentacosadiynoic acid or a derivative thereof, may be particularly suitable color-changing materials having photochromic and thermochromic properties for forming a range of colors upon a printed object. Nanoparticles, particularly silica nanoparticles, associated with an outer surface of the thermoplastic particulates may enhance the brightness of the color obtained under various activation conditions and afford coloration permanence.

摘要: Melt emulsification may be employed to form elastomeric particulates in a narrow size range when nanoparticles and a sulfonate surfactant are included as emulsion stabilizers. Such processes may comprise combining a polyurethane polymer, a sulfonate surfactant, and nanoparticles with a carrier fluid at a heating temperature at or above a melting point or softening temperature of the polyurethane polymer, applying sufficient shear to disperse the polyurethane polymer as liquefied droplets in the presence of the nanoparticles in the carrier fluid at the heating temperature, cooling the carrier fluid at least until elastomeric particulates in a solidified state form, and separating the elastomeric particulates from the carrier fluid. The polyurethane polymer defines a core and an outer surface of the elastomeric particulates, and the nanoparticles are associated with the outer surface. The elastomeric particulates may have a span of about 0.9 or less.

In the elastomeric particulates, the polyurethane polymer defines a core and an outer surface of the elastomeric particulates and the nanoparticles are associated with the outer surface. The elastomeric particulates may have a D50 of about 1 μm to about 1,000 μm.

摘要: Thermoplastic polymer particles can be produced that comprise a thermoplastic polymer and an emulsion stabilizer (e.g., nanoparticles and/or surfactant) associated with an outer surface of the particles. The nanoparticles may be embedded in the outer surface of the particles. Melt emulsification can be used to produce said particles. For example, a method may include: mixing a mixture comprising a thermoplastic polymer, an carrier fluid that is immiscible with the thermoplastic polymer, and the emulsion stabilizer at a temperature greater than a melting point or softening temperature of the thermoplastic polymer and at a shear rate sufficiently high to disperse the thermoplastic polymer in the carrier fluid; cooling the mixture to below the melting point or softening temperature of the thermoplastic polymer to form the thermoplastic polymer particles; and separating the thermoplastic polymer particles from the carrier fluid.

摘要: Additive manufacturing processes featuring consolidation of thermoplastic particulates may form printed objects in a range of shapes. Nanoparticles disposed upon the outer surface of the thermoplastic particulates may improve flow performance of the thermoplastic particulates during additive manufacturing, but may lead to excessive porosity following consolidation. Excessive porosity may be detrimental for performance applications requiring high mechanical strength. A carboxylic acid-based sintering aid, particularly a metal carboxylate, may decrease porosity of consolidated parts following sintering without substantially increasing blocking in a powder bed. Particulate compositions suitable for additive manufacturing may comprise: a plurality of thermoplastic particulates comprising a carboxylic acid-based sintering aid admixed with a thermoplastic polymer, and a plurality of nanoparticles disposed upon an outer surface of the thermoplastic particulates.
