Formulas for home brewed photosensitive resins.

Postby seasicksinbad » Thu May 08, 2014 11:26 pm

I thought it might be interesting to start a thread on formulas for photosensitive resins.
I remember years ago I experimented a bit on the subject, creating a very simple yet practical UV sensitive resin mixing Polyester resin with Potassium Dichromate.
Potassium Dichromate is a very powerful oxidizer and must be treated with respect.
I believe I dissolved it first with alcohol and then I mixed it with the Polyester resin.

I would like to see the development of a vegitable based UV resin. The following papers indicate that it's possible, or offer introductions to the topic.

A Fully Biobased Epoxy Resin from Vegetable Oils: From the Synthesis of the Precursors by Thiol-ene Reaction to the Study of the Final Material
March 2011
Grapeseed oil

In this article, we describe the functionalization of grapeseed oil (GSO) with amine groups involving the thiol-ene reaction.

This article developed the scientific methodology used to produce a polyamine from an unsaturated vegetable oil using the reaction of cysteamine chloride and UV-initiated thiolene chemistry.

Thus, we present here a new concept for the synthesis of polyamine based on unsaturated triglycerides thanks to the thiol-ene reaction.

... click-chemistry concept. This simple reaction is very attractive due to its simple processing despite
unpleasant odor of mercaptans. It can be performed under thermal initiation or UV light irradiation with higher reaction rates.

In this context, thiol-ene chemistry (TEC) represents a direct and efficient method for the introduction of amine group into vegetable oil. The reaction can be performed in air without the complication of competing side reactions with oxygen.

Good references!
I was just at 3D/DC the other day, and I met some fellow students of AndersonTA who have created organic-compatible UV resins. I may have to ask him to chime in on this.

Currently the bulk of the products on the market are non-vegetable-based formulations. That said, "green" chemistry would be nice, but it'll also come at a cost. Are you willing to pay a premium for a vegetable/bio-based formulation?

I just bought a pound of clear epoxy form smooth-on and ordered a sample of a cationic photoinitiator to start experimenting.
I also ordered Sun Cure Ultra Violet Catalyst UVC 2000, which I plan on mixing with polyester resin ( fiberglass resin ) and the clear epoxy. Epoxy and Polyester tend do be hard and brittle so I might need to put an additive to make them somewhat flexible.
Pigments to prevent light from bleeding.
I'll keep you posted on the results.

Hi I'm new on this forum but found a great deal of interesting info on third-party resin for SLA printers. I'm particularly interested in the bio-based resin that would be compatible with the new SLA printers out there.

@A2 do you know if anybody is pursuing this idea, whether it is based on the paper you mentioned or on other sources?

Hi A2,For a UV-curable resin to be suitable for 3D printing i guess the critical property must be how photosensitive it is, to maximize print speed. I'm a chemist by profession but i haven't any experience with polymer chemistry, and i think i'd like to read up on the subject. What mechanism(s) cause a material to photopolymerise, and how would one optimize this behaviour? I've read some very interesting hints about what might be done, like cooking a UV-resin from linseed oil (Green Chem, 2011, 13, 1014 DOI: 10.1039/c1gc15038c). With a bit of research, it sounds to me like it would be possible to make your own resin from mostly renewable, dirt-cheap or even self-produced precursors. I also read somewhere about someone who built a kayak with epoxy resin synthesized from, i think it was, linseed oil, but i can't find any details on this. Epoxy is a bit pricey, it'd be awsum to be able to DIY in my opinion. Anyone else here thinking in these patterns? Is there any opensource development being done in this area? I am waiting for your hopeful reply..Keep in touch with us..Thanks in Advance :D :D
