Thermoplastic composition for 3d printing with amorphous polyamide polymer
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11884819B2) discloses a thermoplastic 3D printing composition that includes an amorphous polyamide polymer, a crystalline or semicrystalline thermoplastic polymer such as polypropylene, a compatibilizing agent, and a filler. The composition must contain at least 25 wt. % of the amorphous polyamide polymer and at least 5 wt. % of the crystalline or semicrystalline thermoplastic polymer. Additionally, the composition may include various additives such as rheology modifiers, thermal management fillers, coloring components, flame retardants, and others, each present in an amount of 0.1 to 20 wt. %.
Furthermore, the patent claims specify the optional inclusion of a mono carboxylic acid, a linear dicarboxylic acid, and a linear diamine in the amorphous polyamide polymer, as well as the use of specific types of fillers such as glass fibers, glass microspheres, silica, calcium carbonate, and talc. The composition may also incorporate a compatibilizing agent selected from maleated aliphatic polymers, waxes, functionalized acrylates, and ethylene/propylene copolymers to enhance the compatibility of the different components. The presence of these elements in the thermoplastic composition aims to improve the properties and performance of the material for 3D printing applications, offering a versatile and customizable solution for additive manufacturing processes.
