[0002] The light-cured 3D printing technology is a production and manufacturing technology for manufacturing products by using the energy of a near-ultraviolet light source to excite free radicals to cause polymerization. The light-cured 3D printing technology can greatly increase the design freedom of products, greatly shorten the time and cost from design to manufacturing, and the produced products do not need additional cutting, polishing and surface treatment, so the light-cured 3D printing technology is widely used in the fields of dentistry and the like. The core of the light-cured 3D printing technology is light-cured resin. The light-cured resin causes the polymerization of monomers and oligomers by exciting initiators to generate free radicals through a light source, so as to be shaped and cured.

During stirring, the second solution was slowly added dropwise at 2 mL / min. The reaction was continued for 1-1.2 hours while maintaining the temperature and stirring speed to obtain a gel product. The gel product was then broken into 1 cm pieces using a spatula. 3Small pieces of the mixture were added to a glass beaker with anhydrous DMF and allowed to stand for 6-7 hours. Then, the mixture was filtered using a Buchner funnel to retain the solid material. This process of soaking in anhydrous DMF and filtering was repeated 3-5 times to obtain the first resin. The first resin and anhydrous ethanol were then added to a glass flask and allowed to stand for 4-5 hours. This process of soaking in anhydrous ethanol and filtering was repeated 3-5 times to obtain the second resin. The second resin was then dried in a supercritical CO2 drying kettle to complete the preparation of the reinforcing material.
[0011] Preferably, during the drying process, the supercritical CO2 drying vessel is set to a temperature of 40°C and a pressure of 8MPa. First, the inlet and outlet valves are closed, and the system is kept at a constant temperature and pressure for 2-3 hours.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are: 1. In this invention, the photosensitive resin network provides the basis for rapid prototyping, while the epoxy resin forms high-density crosslinks in the post-curing stage, significantly improving the overall crosslinking degree. The rigid molecular skeleton composed of high benzene ring content methacrylate monomers and bisphenol A type epoxy resin generates a molecular locking effect with the interpenetrating network. The large benzene rings provide extremely high kinetic energy barriers, while the interpenetrating network restricts chain segment movement from a topological perspective. The surface-functionalized aramid fibers and their in-situ grown ZIF-8 structure form a strong interfacial bond with the resin matrix. These rigid reinforcing phases can remain stable at high temperatures, effectively suppressing the thermal movement of resin molecular chains. At the same time, their three-dimensional network structure provides reliable thermomechanical support for the material, ensuring that the printed parts maintain excellent dimensional stability and mechanical properties in high-temperature environments.
[0017] 2. In this invention, a dual-scale reinforcement system is constructed through the synergistic effect of spherical silica and surface-functionalized aramid fibers. ZIF-8 structures are grown in situ on the surface of specially treated aramid fibers to form a unique micro-nano composite reinforcement, which greatly increases the interfacial contact area. Furthermore, the amino and carboxyl active functional groups introduced on the surface of the reinforcement form a strong chemical bond network with the resin matrix, including ring-opening reactions with epoxy groups and hydrogen bonding with ester groups. This achieves a qualitative transformation from traditional physical adsorption to chemical bonding. This strong interfacial bonding ensures efficient stress transfer between components and improves the mechanical properties of the photocurable resin. Attached Figure Description

At a temperature of 23±2 degrees Celsius and a relative humidity of 50±10%, the testing machine is started, and the indenter applies a load to the center of the specimen span at a constant loading speed (2 mm / min). The test continues until the specimen breaks or the deformation reaches a predetermined value. The testing system automatically records the load and deformation data throughout the process. By analyzing the load-deformation curve, it calculates and outputs the bending strength and bending modulus. The test conforms to the national standard GB / T 9341-2008 "Determination of Bending Properties of Plastics". Heat distortion: The specimen is a standard rectangular strip with dimensions of 120 mm in length, 10 mm in width, and 4 mm in thickness. A bending stress of 1.80 MPa is applied using silicone oil or other thermally stable liquid, and the temperature is strictly controlled at 120 degrees Celsius per hour. The specimen is placed in a support and a specified load is applied. The temperature of the immersion bath is increased from room temperature at a constant rate, and the bending deformation of the specimen is continuously monitored. When the maximum bending deformation of the specimen reaches 0.34 mm, the temperature in the bath at this time is recorded. This temperature is the heat distortion temperature of the specimen. Test standard: GB / T 1634.2-2019 "Determination of Load Deflection Temperature of Plastics - Part 2: Plastics and Hard Rubber"; Shore hardness: The sample thickness should be no less than 6 mm, or this thickness can be achieved through stacking. The test surface must be flat, smooth, and the upper and lower surfaces parallel. Each test point should be at least 12 mm away from the edge of the sample. Use a calibrated Shore D hardness tester, press the hardness tester vertically and smoothly against the sample surface without impact, ensuring that the indenter foot is in complete contact with the sample. According to the standard, take the reading within 1 second after the indenter foot contacts the sample, or read the instantaneous maximum value. Repeat the measurement at different positions on the sample at least 5 times, and take the median of the multiple measurements as the Shore D hardness value of the sample. Test standard: GB / T 2411-2008 "Determination of indentation hardness of plastics and hard rubber using hardness testers"; The obtained test data are recorded in Table 1 below: Table 1
[0055] By comparing and analyzing the relevant data in the table, it can be seen that the performance of the specimens prepared by the high-strength, high-temperature-resistant photocurable resins in Comparative Examples 1-3 is lower than that in Examples 1-3. Among them, Comparative Example 1 completely lacks the reinforcing material, which is the main reason for its comprehensive performance degradation. This reinforcing material is made by in-situ composite MOF with aramid fibers, which constructs a nanoscale reinforcing network in the resin matrix, which can greatly improve the load transfer efficiency and material rigidity. Without it, the resin loses the key structural support phase, resulting in a significant decrease in flexural strength, modulus, and hardness; at the same time, the loss of the inherent high thermal stability of aramid and MOF also directly reduces the heat distortion temperature of the material, making its heat resistance worse. Comparative Example 2 uses flexible aliphatic HDDA to replace the rigid methacrylate monomer with high benzene ring content, which is a fatal flaw. The large benzene ring structure can effectively restrict the movement of polymer chain segments, giving the material high rigidity, high strength and high glass transition temperature. After being replaced with flexible chain HDDA, the crosslinking network becomes compliant, the intermolecular forces weaken, resulting in a sharp drop in mechanical strength (especially flexural modulus), and the heat distortion temperature is also greatly reduced due to the easier movement of chain segments, resulting in a serious loss of temperature resistance; Comparative Example 3, without the addition of a second additive containing epoxy resin, disrupted the dual-network crosslinking structure. Epoxy resin can form interpenetrating or synergistic crosslinking networks with the acrylate system, significantly improving the overall crosslinking density and material compactness. Without the epoxy network, the material has insufficient crosslinking, and the molecular chains are more prone to relative slippage under stress, thus reducing flexural strength and modulus. Simultaneously, the excellent heat resistance of epoxy resin itself cannot contribute, resulting in a significantly lower heat distortion temperature than the complete formulation example. The photocurable resin prepared by this invention using a high-strength, high-temperature-resistant photocurable resin for 3D printing not only possesses good flexural strength and flexural modulus properties, but also excellent thermal deformation and Shore hardness. This indicates that the high-strength, high-temperature-resistant photocurable resin for 3D printing provided by this invention has a broader market prospect and is more suitable for widespread application.
