Tailoring of Silicone Urethane Methacrylate Resin for Vat Photopolymerization-Based 3D Printing of Shape Memory Polymers.

ABSTRACT: Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) or silicone elastomers have garnered considerable attention in the field of medical device applications due to their superior thermal stability. However, conventional manufacturing techniques for silicone elastomers suffer from drawbacks such as cost, lengthy production time, and inherent difficulties in fabricating complex structures. To address these limitations, photosensitive polydimethylsiloxane urethane methacrylate (PDMSUMA) oligomers were synthesized, and their curing behaviors were specifically investigated for vat photopolymerization 3D printing applications. The study focused on exploring the impact of weight ratios between poly(ethylene glycol) dimethacrylate (PEGDMA) and 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA) in the PDMSUMA resin formulation. The additi
