Sealed flexible containment strategy for long-term storage and low-outgassing to fuel in-space manufacturing of frontally polymerizable composite

Despite having better processibility, durability, and thermomechanical performances, thermoset composites raise concerns of limited storage life, resin volatility, and property consistency when considered for in-space manufacturing. The large costs in time, energy, and equipment...

Embedded Direct Ink Writing of Thermoset and Elastomeric Polymers via Frontal Polymerization

ABSTRACT Direct ink writing (DIW) using frontal ring‐opening metathesis polymerization (FROMP) enables rapid, energy‐efficient fabrication of thermoset and elastomeric architectures through a self‐propagating exothermic curing reaction. However, FP‐DIW is constrained by stringent...
