In this study, digital light processing (DLP) was utilized to generate 3D-printed blends composed of photosensitive acrylate-modified polylactic acid (PLA) resin mixed with varying weight ratios of lignin extracted from softwood, typically ranging from 5 wt% to 30 wt%. The microstructure of these 3D-printed blends was examined through X-ray microtomography. Additionally, the tensile mechanical properties of all blends were assessed in relation to the weight ratio and post-curing treatment. The results suggest that post-curing significantly influences the tensile properties of the 3D-printed composites, especially in modulating the brittleness of the prints. Furthermore, an optimal weight ratio was identified to be around 5 wt%, beyond which UV light photopolymerization experiences compromises. These findings regarding acrylate-modified PLA/lignin blends offer a cost-effective alternative for producing 3D-printed bio-sourced components, maintaining technical performance in reasonable-cost, low-temperature 3D printing, and with a low environmental footprint.
在本研究中,利用数字光处理(DLP)技术生成了由光敏丙烯酸酯改性聚乳酸(PLA)树脂与从软木中提取的不同重量比木质素混合而成的3D打印共混物,重量比通常为5 wt%至30 wt%。通过X射线显微断层扫描检查了这些3D打印共混物的微观结构。此外,还评估了所有共混物的拉伸力学性能与重量比及后固化处理的关系。结果表明,后固化对3D打印复合材料的拉伸性能有显著影响,特别是在调节打印件的脆性方面。此外,确定最佳重量比约为5 wt%,超过此比例,紫外光光聚合会受到影响。这些关于丙烯酸酯改性PLA/木质素共混物的发现为生产3D打印生物源部件提供了一种经济高效的替代方案,在合理成本、低温3D打印中保持技术性能,且对环境影响较小。
