EXTRUSION FREEFORM FABRICATION OF SOYBEAN OIL-BASED COMPOSITES BY DIRECT DEPOSITION

摘要

Composite formulations useful in the production of objects by thesolid freeform fabrication method comprise: a) an epoxidized drying oil (primary resin); b) a curing agent; c) a fibrous filler; d) a thixotropic agent; and optionally e) a secondary resin. These composites are characterized by unique physical properties including enhanced biodegradability.
