Abstract
This study addresses the challenge of sustainability within the 3D printing polymer sector. Standard commercial thermosetting resins are typically petroleum-derived, characterized by irreversible molecular networks. Although these structures provide superior mechanical performance, their inherent irreversibility precludes remodeling, healing, or recycling, thus leading to the accumulation of persistent plastic waste. In contrast, vitrimers represent an emerging class of polymeric materials featuring dynamic covalent networks, capable of bond exchange under thermal activation. These materials exhibit advanced functional properties such as self-healing capability, shape-memory behavior, recyclability and reprocessability. The main objective of this work is, therefore, the development and characterization of a photocurable vitrimer resin, suitable for LCD 3D printing, composed of two bio-based monomers: glycerol 1,3-diglycerolate diacrylate and acrylated epoxidized soybean oil (AESO)..
