Photosensitive polymer-based boron nitride nanoplatelets (PSP/BNNP) composites are fabricated via stereolithography (SLA) three-dimensional (3D) printing technique. The influence of the BNNP addition on the curing, and the resulting microhardness, damping, and compressive strength is evaluated in composites with 0, 0.5, and 1 wt% BNNP. Damping response in 1 wt% BNNP composites was found to exhibit loss tangent (tan d) values 23 higher than pure PSP (0.07-0.17). Enhanced damping properties in composites are attributed to the interfacial shearing and sliding of BNNP. The potential of BNNP as a reinforcement in SLA 3D printing scaffolds is shown by a 23.8% increase in compressive yield strength in 1 wt% BNNP as compared to 0.5 wt% BNNP. It is observed that interaction of the nanoparticles with the laser wavelength during the curing process is of prime importance in the successful manufacturing of 3D printed structures with improved functional properties.
