In this edition of Professor’s Corner, we will focus on properties of one-plot synthesis of UV urethane acrylate copolymers from simple building blocks and review final physical properties based on DMA and Tensile Strength, as well as their effect in UV binder electrodes on battery specific capacity rate at 1C. Herein, we report on our first series of copolymers synthesized to … [Read more...] about UV Binders For LiB, Part 4: Properties of UV-Curable Urethane Acrylate Copolymers Used in LiB

Direct Ink Writing in Multi-Material AM
Although capable of generating parts from photopolymers in high resolution, a challenge of vat-based approaches is their limitations in multi-material applications. 1 In the preceding column, I reviewed multi-vat and multi-wavelength approaches to this challenge. The current column reviews technical approaches and applications of additively manufactured multi-material parts … [Read more...] about Direct Ink Writing in Multi-Material AM
