“…In the Vat photopolymerization, these two types of monomers are sometimes mixed to form a structure called an interpenetrating polymer network (IPN), which is a state in which polymer chains are intertwined. The IPN formation of hard and brittle acrylic monomers and flexible epoxy monomers has been shown to produce resin with high curing speed and excellent mechanical strength [11][12][13][14][15]. However, strength is not sufficient to form the final product using the Vat photopolymerization, and a material with high toughness that combines hardness and tenacity is required.…”

Vat photopolymerization 3D printing mainly uses acrylic or epoxy monomers, or a mixture of these monomers. Polymerization of hard and brittle acrylic monomers and flexible epoxy monomers forms an interpenetrating polymer network, resulting in a resin with fast curing speed and high toughness. However, phase separation occurs, and stress concentrated between the layers causes the cured resin to fracture. In this study, we synthesized acrylic monomers that have both rigid and flexible parts in a single molecule. By using this monomer in a photo-curable resin, we have developed resins that suppress phase separation and have excellent curing speed and toughness.
