POLYOLEFIN-BASED FORMULATIONS FOR ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20250122390 titled 'POLYOLEFIN-BASED FORMULATIONS FOR ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING
Original Abstract Submitted
a polyolefin-based ink for additive manufacturing includes a polyolefin comprising at least one type of functional group for crosslinking, where the polyolefin includes at least an ethylene monomeric unit and at least a propylene monomeric unit. the ethylene monomeric unit is present in a range of greater than 50 wt. % to about 75 wt. % of a total weight of the polyolefin. moreover, the polyolefin has a molecular weight that is no more than five times the entanglement molecular weight of a homologous series of the polyolefin.
