[0039] This invention provides a 3D photopolymerizable printing ink, comprising the following components in parts by weight:

[0040]

[0041] The photosensitive polyetheretherketone oligomer has the structure shown in Formula 1:

[0042]

[0044] The 3D photopolymer printing ink provided by this invention comprises 40-80 parts of photosensitive polyether ether ketone oligomer, specifically 45, 50, 55, 60, 65, 70, 75, or 80 parts by weight. In this invention, the number average molecular weight of the photosensitive polyether ether ketone oligomer is 200-20000 g / mol, specifically 500-10000 g / mol, or 2000-8000 g / mol, specifically 1000 g / mol, 2000 g / mol, 3000 g / mol, 5000 g / mol, 6000 g / mol, or 8000 g / mol. In this invention, the photosensitive polyether ether ketone oligomer has good solubility in reactive diluents and reactive crosslinking agents, and the reactive double bonds contained in the molecular structure of the photosensitive polyether ether ketone oligomer serve as photosensitive groups that can be rapidly photocured; moreover, the photosensitive polyether ether ketone oligomer has excellent solubility in reactive diluents, reactive crosslinking agents, and organic solvents.

[0045] Based on the mass fraction of photosensitive polyetheretherketone oligomer, the 3D photocurable printing ink provided by this invention comprises 30-40 parts of reactive diluent, specifically 30, 35, or 40 parts. In one specific embodiment of this invention, the reactive diluent may include one or more of N-vinylpyrrolidone, N,N-dimethylacrylamide, and polyethylene glycol diacrylate, specifically N-vinylpyrrolidone, N,N-dimethylacrylamide, or polyethylene glycol diacrylate.

In another specific embodiment of this invention, the weight-average molecular weight of the polyethylene glycol diacrylate may be 500-700 g / mol, specifically 600 g / mol. The present invention adds an active diluent to 3D photopolymer printing ink to improve the moldability of 3D photopolymer printing ink and the flexibility of polyetheretherketone composite material.

[0046] Based on the mass fraction of photosensitive polyetheretherketone oligomer, the 3D photocurable printing ink provided by this invention includes 10-20 parts of an active crosslinking agent, specifically 10 parts, 15 parts, or 20 parts.

This invention, by introducing an active crosslinking agent, enables the printing material to possess excellent photosensitivity, increases the crosslinking density of the formed component during printing, thereby increasing the mechanical properties and heat resistance of the formed component. For polyetheretherketone composite materials, the introduction of the active crosslinking agent enhances the dispersibility of solid lubricant additives in the 3D photocurable printing ink; simultaneously, the crosslinked network formed by the active crosslinking agent after printing can lock the solid lubricant additives, ensuring their uniform dispersion, while guaranteeing excellent tribological behavior of the polyetheretherketone composite material.

[0047] Based on the mass fraction of photosensitive polyether ether ketone oligomer, the 3D photocurable printing ink provided by this invention includes 5 to 10 parts of solid lubricant additive, specifically 5, 8, or 10 parts. As a specific embodiment of this invention, the solid lubricant additive may include one or more of polytetrafluoroethylene, silica, titanium dioxide, carbon nanotubes, carbon fibers, and fluorinated graphite, specifically polytetrafluoroethylene, silica, titanium dioxide, carbon nanotubes, carbon fibers, or fluorinated graphite. In one specific embodiment of the present invention, the average particle size of the polytetrafluoroethylene can be 500 nm to 500 μm, or 1 to 400 μm, specifically 1 μm, 5 μm, 50 μm, or 100 μm; the average particle size of the silicon dioxide can be 20 to 500 nm, specifically 20 nm, 50 nm, 100 nm, 200 nm, 300 nm, 400 nm, or 500 nm; the average particle size of the titanium dioxide can be 20 to 500 nm, specifically 20 nm, 50 nm, 100 nm, 200 nm, 300 nm, 400 nm, or 500 nm.

In this invention, the solid lubricant additive has good compatibility and dispersibility with the photosensitive polyether ether ketone oligomer. Furthermore, by selecting solid lubricant additives with specific shapes and sizes, this invention can improve the dispersibility of the solid lubricant additive in the system and simultaneously improve the wear resistance of the printed polyether ether ketone composite material.

[0048] Based on the mass fraction of photosensitive polyether ether ketone oligomer, the 3D photocurable printing ink provided by this invention includes 5 to 10 parts of liquid lubricant additive, specifically 5, 6, 8, or 10 parts.

Traditional oil-containing self-lubricating composite materials and devices are mainly formed into porous composite materials and devices through molding during sintering, and finally, liquid lubricant additives are impregnated in the porous structure through vacuum impregnation, thereby forming oil-containing lubricating materials and devices with liquid lubricant composites, thus reducing their friction and wear; however, the formation of continuous pores greatly reduces the mechanical properties of the composite materials and devices. This invention combines the advantages of additive manufacturing technology with photocuring 3D polyetheretherketone composite materials. It directly introduces liquid lubricating additives into a liquid photosensitive system, thereby preparing self-lubricating solid / liquid lubricating composite materials and oil-lubricated devices with high oil content. Without reducing its mechanical properties, it greatly reduces the friction coefficient and wear rate of photosensitive polyetheretherketone self-lubricating composite materials, and realizes the integrated rapid manufacturing of complex, irregular and customized oil-lubricated composite materials.

[0068] After obtaining the preform, the present invention heat-treats the preform to obtain the polyetheretherketone composite material. In one specific embodiment of the present invention, the heat treatment can be a stepped heating and holding process. The initial temperature of the stepped heating and holding process can be 20–80°C, specifically 20°C, 50°C, 60°C, or 80°C; the ending temperature of the stepped heating and holding process is 200–300°C, specifically 200°C, 250°C, or 300°C; the temperature difference between two adjacent holding processes is 10–50°C, specifically 20°C, 25°C, 30°C, or 40°C; the holding time for each holding process is 0.5–5 hours, specifically 1 hour, 2 hours, 3 hours, 4 hours, or 5 hours; the heating rate of the stepped heating and holding process is 1–5°C / min, specifically 1°C / min, 1.5°C / min, 2°C / min, or 5°C / min.

[0107]

[0108] Combining Table 1 and Figures 3-4 It is known that the polyetheretherketone composite material provided by the present invention has good mechanical properties, heat resistance (can be used for a long time at a temperature of 200℃), low coefficient of friction, good molding accuracy (optical accuracy less than 50μm), and excellent dimensional stability (dimensional shrinkage rate <1%).

[0109] Table 1 shows that Comparative Example 1, without the addition of solid or liquid lubricating additives, exhibits high mechanical properties and a high thermal decomposition temperature. In Examples 1-4, the introduction of liquid lubricating additives into the polyetheretherketone (PEEK) composites resulted in a slight decrease in mechanical properties and thermal decomposition temperature, but the reduction was within an acceptable range, and the achieved mechanical properties and heat resistance met the requirements for engineering applications. Importantly, the introduction of liquid lubricating additives significantly reduced the coefficient of friction of the composite lubricating materials and devices, providing a feasible solution for their friction requirements in harsh environments. This invention, through the combined action of its components, maintains good mechanical properties while achieving a low coefficient of friction in the PEEK composite material.

People can obtain other embodiments based on these embodiments without creative effort, and these embodiments all fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
