| description | The use of isosorbide-derived polymers has garnered significant attention in recent decades as a high-performance, renewable material sourced from biomass. Of particular interest is isosorbide methacrylate, which possesses low viscosity (<500 cps), high thermal properties (<i>T<sub>g</sub></i> ≈ 220 °C), and high modulus (>4 GPa). These characteristics present a promising opportunity to replace BPA-derived methacrylate compounds in various applications. This investigation aims to synthesize and characterize isosorbide-based low-viscosity resin systems for 3D printing. The resin blends are composed of isosorbide methacrylate and two bio-renewable methacrylates, furfuryl methacrylate (FM) and bis-hydroxymethyl-furan methacrylate (BHMF-M), polymerized through a digital light processing (DLP) technique. The addition of the bio-based co-monomers serves to enhance the fracture toughness of the brittle isosorbide methacrylate crosslinked homopolymer (<i>G<sub>Ic</sub></i> = 37 J/m<sup>2</sup>). The resulting polymers exhibit <i>T<sub>g</sub></i> values greater than 200 °C and <i>G<sub>Ic</sub></i> around 100 J/m<sup>2</sup>. These resin systems hold potential for imparting high bio-based content to polymers used in additive manufacturing for high-performance applications. |
