Abstract
Vat photopolymerization-based three-dimensional (3D) printing techniques have been used as an efficient method for complex and special geometries in various applications. Composites are also a group of polymer materials that are obtained by adding a reinforcing component such as filler, fibres with different origins. Therefore, the development of 3D printable composites is paramount due to their high precision and speed of production. Glass beads (GBs) have been favorites as economical reinforcement agents for their chemical stability, water resistance in acidic environments, dimensional stability, and eco-friendly properties. In this study, 3D printable composites based on coated glass beads (CGBs) have been prepared. First, the beads are coated with ultraviolet (UV) curable resins to improve the interface with the polymer matrix. Then, CGBs are mixed with 3D printing resin and formulated for digital light processing (DLP) printing. The coating process is checked by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and the mechanical properties of the 3D-printed composite structures have been evaluated by bending and compression tests. Also, the fracture behavior of cured resin has been checked with SEM. Mechanical property investigations have shown the success of the 3D printing of the CGBs into a photopolymer resin (PR) composite with behavior modification and compatibility of the interface with the matrix in practice.
