Key Points

The aim is to develop sustainable monomers from amino acids for use in vat photopolymerization 3D printing.
Synthesis of itaconamide from amino acids
Characterization of newly developed monomers
Comparison with traditional acrylate resins
Itaconamide monomers show comparable performance to traditional resins
Significant reduction in reliance on fossil-derived materials
Potential for improved sustainability in 3D printing applications

Implication

Demonstrates the use of bio-derived itaconamide monomers in 3D printing, suggesting a sustainable alternative to acrylic resins.

Abstract

a Vat photopolymerization (VP) is a rapidly growing additive manufacturing technology (3D-printing), yet its reliance on fossilderived and potentially hazardous acrylate resins presents a significant sustainability challenge. Although itaconic acid...
