Abstract

Direct Ink Writing (DIW) is a promising 3D printing method for controlled multi-material deposition to make well-defined geometrical structures. Stringent rheological requirements enable the additive build-up of extruded layers. Although commercially available, no occasion has been reported on poly(butyl vinyl ether) adhesives for DIW. The moisture curing mechanism and thixotropic build-up indicate an alternative route to cross-linking curing to thermoset elastomers. Chemical composition and rheological characterizations were conducted to evaluate printability and physicochemical properties (i.e., dielectric properties, thermal conductivity, etc.) to address the potential for further reformulation and study with nanomaterial additives.
