3D Printing of Polymer Nanocomposites via Stereolithography

TLDR
In this paper, the application of stereolithography (SLA) for polymer nanocomposites fabrication is discussed, and the potential of the technology's potential in increasing the applicability of current SLA-printed parts.
Abstract
Additive manufacturing (AM) is still underutilized as an industrial process, but is quickly gaining momentum with the development of innovative techniques and materials for various applications. In particular, stereolithography (SLA) is now shifting from rapid prototyping to rapid manufacturing, but is facing challenges in parts performance and printing speed, among others. This review discusses the application of SLA for polymer nanocomposites fabrication to show the technology's potential in increasing the applicability of current SLA-printed parts. Photopolymerization chemistry, nanocomposite preparation, and applications in various industries are also explained to provide a comprehensive picture of the current and future capabilities of the technique and materials involved.
