Polymethyl Methacrylate-like Photopolymer Resin with Titanium Metal Nanoparticles Is a Promising Material for...

New materials for additive manufacturing are currently being actively studied, which both have the necessary physicochemical properties and are safe for the environment and living organisms. We have proposed a simple process for the production of composite materials based on a transparent polymethyl methacrylate-like photopolymer resin modified with metallic titanium nanoparticles. Standardized plate samples were printed from the obtained modified photopolymer resins using mask stereolithography with an LED light source array (MSLA), and their mechanical properties were evaluated. Plates were also printed, for which the surface topology, distribution of nanoparticles in the polymer matrix, chemical structure, optical properties, chemical structure, and optical properties were characterized. In the context of the impact on biological systems, the ability of materials to enhance the formation of ROS and affect the main biomacromolecules was demonstrated. At the same time, the developed composite materials inhibit the growth of E. coli bacterial cells, and the bactericidal effect of the surfaces of the obtained materials was shown. Despite the significant antibacterial properties of the synthesized materials, no negative impact on the growth and development of adhesive cultures of eukaryotic cells in vitro was detected.
