Key Points

This research aims to develop 3D-printable acrylates that allow dynamic adjustments of printed material properties.
Developed acrylates featuring amine groups for 3D printing.
Utilized imine condensation and exchange reactions to modify surface properties.
Measured changes in surface polarity and emission behavior.
3D-printed objects exhibited adjustable surface polarity based on imine bond dynamics.
Emission behavior was tuned effectively through controlled reactions on the surface.
Dynamic properties can lead to more functional and versatile applications in 3D-printed designs.

Implication

Demonstrates tuning properties of 3D-printed objects using imine bonds, suggesting material flexibility.

Abstract

3D-printable acrylates bearing amine groups are reported allowing the dynamic tuning of the properties of the 3D-printed objects (surface polarity, emission behavior) via imine condensation and exchange reaction on the surface of the samples.
