Abstract

Advances in additive manufacturing have been mostly driven by developments in software and hardware for 3D printing. However, the limited number of printable polymers still restricts the applications of this technique. Researchers have made progress in the development of advanced polymeric materials that are compatible with 3D printing, by using a wide array of chemical interactions. In this prospective article, we discuss how 3D-printing technology can benefit from a supramolecular toolbox of dynamic covalent and non-covalent bonds. Furthermore, we aim to highlight how this toolbox is helping to overcome the main challenges in processability, functionality, and sustainability for 3D printing.
