3D ceramic parts are of great interest for various applications including aerospace, defense, electronics, photonics, and biomedical. Yet, additive manufacturing ceramics is challenging due to their poor machinability. Herein, two approaches based on the chemical modification silicon resins obtain UV-curable preceramic precursors SiOC described. The dual functionality synthesized acting both as...

In this paper, we present the development of a family novel, UV-curable, highly flexible, 3D printable silicone-based materials, mechanical properties which can be tuned simply by varying ratio polymerisable reagents within formulation. This tuneability is achieved exploiting balance between in-cure phase separation and differential reactivity formulation to successfully produce composite struc...

4D printing is an emerging fabrication technology that enables 3D printed structures to change configuration over “time” in response environmental stimulus. Compared with other soft active materials used for printing, shape-memory polymers (SMPs) have higher stiffness, and are compatible various technologies. Among them, ultraviolet (UV)-curable SMPs Digital Light Processing (DLP)-based fabrica...
