Self-Healing Behavior of Metallopolymers in Complex3D-Structures Obtained by DLP-Based 3D-Printing.

ABSTRACT: This current study focusses on the investigation of the self-healing abilities of metallopolymers containing different kinds of metal complexes, which were processed by direct digital light processing (DLP) based three-dimensional (3D) printing. For this purpose, 2-phenoxyethyl acrylate is mixed with ligand-containing monomers either based on triphenylmethyl(trt)-histidine or terpyridine, respectively. Either zinc(II) or nickel(II) salts are successfully applied for a complexation of the ligand monomers in solution and, subsequently, photopolymerization is performed. The thermo-mechanical properties of the obtained metallopolymers were characterized by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) as well as dynamic mechanical thermal analysis (DMTA).
