Effect of nano-BaTiO3 on thermal, mechanical, and electrical properties of HDDA/TPA photopolymer prepared by a digital light processor RP machine
The acrylate-based photopolymer consists of tetra-functional polyester acrylate (TPA), and hexanediol diacrylate (HDDA) has been successfully composited with nano barium titanate (BaTiO3) and completely cured via a digital light processor RP machine.

| Summary: | The acrylate-based photopolymer consists of tetra-functional polyester acrylate (TPA), and hexanediol diacrylate (HDDA) has been successfully composited with nano barium titanate (BaTiO3) and completely cured via a digital light processor RP machine. The degradation temperature, tensile strength, hardness, resistivity, and dielectric constant of samples were characterized by Thermo Gravimetric Analyzer Hi-Res TGA2950, Universal Tensile Machine JIA701, Hardness Shore D tester, Fluke 117 multimeter, and Agilent B1500A Semiconductor Device Analyzer, respectively. The morphology changes of the samples were also investigated using the JEOL JSM-6390LV scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The results show that the improvement of degradation temperature is not obvious. Furthermore, the modulus elasticity, hardness, and dielectric constant increase as the filler loading increases up to 2 phr, but the resistivity is vice versa. Interestingly, there is an inverse correlation between dielectric constant and resistivity of photopolymer/BaTiO3 nanocomposite. |
