I use a DWS System's DS3000, a photosensitive monomer to disperse the nanoparticles in it and use the solution for SLA printing. But, because of its high viscosity, I cannot increase the particle concentration, which is my goal.
Hi,
you can add pretty much any low-molecular-weight acrylic monomer as a reactive diluent. There are tens to hundreds of choices regarding your requirements on reactivity, safety, odor, mechanical properties, affinity to your nanoparticles, etc. This study, for instance, uses trimethylolpropane triacrylate (TMPTA) as a reference monomer for printing with nanofillers using the newly developed photosensitizers.
