Method for Photopolymerization 3D Printing of Recyclable Thermoplastic Polymers

Conventional light-based processes used in additive manufacturing (AM), such as vat polymerization, yield non-recyclable thermoset polymers, which pose sustainability issues at scale. This thesis studies a method for photopolymerization 3D printing of the common polymers polyacrylonitrile (PAN) and...
