Area of Science:

  • Materials Science
  • Polymer Chemistry
  • Nanotechnology

Background:

  • Siloxane elastomers are widely used but often lack sufficient electrostatic dissipation properties.
  • Incorporating conductive fillers is a common strategy to enhance electrical conductivity.
  • 3D printing offers advanced manufacturing capabilities for customized material design.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the effect of single-walled carbon nanotubes (CNTs) on the properties of 3D printable siloxane elastomers.
  • To develop a composite material with effective electrostatic dissipation capabilities.
  • To understand the relationship between CNT loading, rheological, mechanical, and electrical properties.

Main Methods:

  • Dispersion of single-walled carbon nanotubes (CNTs) into siloxane resins at various loading levels.
  • Characterization of rheological and mechanical properties of the resulting composites.
  • Evaluation of electrical properties, specifically electrical resistivity, for electrostatic dissipation assessment.
  • 3D printing of the developed siloxane-CNT composites.

Main Results:

  • Successful dispersion of low CNT loadings (<1 wt %) in silicone resins was achieved.
  • The 3D printable siloxane-CNT composites exhibited significantly reduced electrical resistivity.
  • Mechanical properties were minimally affected despite the incorporation of CNTs.
  • Effective electrostatic dissipation was demonstrated in the developed composite materials.

Conclusions:

  • Low concentrations of CNTs can be effectively incorporated into 3D printable siloxane elastomers.
  • The developed composite materials show enhanced electrostatic dissipation due to reduced electrical resistivity.
  • This approach offers a viable method for creating functional 3D printed materials with tailored electrical properties.
