Low-warpage and low-odor 3D printing ABS material and preparation method and application thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to an ABS material, in particular to a low-warpage and low-odor 3D printing ABS material and a preparation method and application thereof.
Background
Fused deposition printing (FDM) is one of the first 3D printing technologies, and is suitable for many kinds of materials, and relatively low in equipment cost, and is the most widely used 3D printing technology at present.
The material suitable for the FDM technology is mainly a high polymer filament material, and the material is conveyed into a printing nozzle through a gear to be printed and molded at a certain processing temperature. The ABS material is a terpolymer material polymerized by three monomers of acrylonitrile (A), butadiene (B) and styrene (S), and is a material with better comprehensive performance which is used as an FDM technology at first. However, the common ABS material applied to 3D printing technology still has the following two main defects: 1. the problems of warpage and deformation caused by insufficient material processing fluidity and high shrinkage rate cause low printing yield and poor finished product quality; 2. residual auxiliary agents and monomers in the ABS polymerization process and peculiar smell sources such as micromolecules generated by secondary thermal processing volatilize to generate serious peculiar smell.
CN107603181A discloses an ABS composite material for 3D printing and a preparation method thereof, wherein the ABS composite material for 3D printing is formed by mixing ABS, PC, a compatibilizer and white carbon black. In the technology, the addition of PC resin improves the performances of the alloy material such as impact strength and the like, but the printing temperature of the material is relatively increased, the adhesion force among material layers is reduced, and the cracking problem is generated along with the increase of the printing temperature of the material.
CN109206832A discloses an ABS material with extremely low warpage and no cracking for 3D printing and a preparation method thereof, wherein amorphous copolyester with low shrinkage and spherical inorganic powder are used to reduce the shrinkage of the material and improve the warpage resistance of the material, but the problem of peculiar smell of the material is still generated.
CN103059409A discloses a low-odor and low-emission modified polypropylene material and a preparation method thereof, wherein a nano zinc oxide prepared by a microemulsion method is used for preparing a nano zinc oxide modified activated carbon material, the nano zinc oxide modified activated carbon material is loaded on the surface of porous activated carbon, and the porous activated carbon is used for absorbing residual monomers, decomposition products and organic acid in base material polypropylene, so as to achieve an obvious odor removal effect. However, activated carbon is limited to use in black materials due to its own black color.
