Vat photopolymerization (VP) additive manufacturing involves selectively curing low-viscosity photopolymers via exposure to ultraviolet light in a layer-wise fashion. Dispersing filler materials in the photopolymer enables tailored end-use properties, but also drastically increases the viscosity and the timescale associated with interparticle network structural recovery post-shear.

Viscoelastic properties of the printed parts From the results presented in the preceding sections, it is expected that the printed part performance can be affected by the incorporation of LCPP in the blends. The results are also representative of the multilayer prints and are independent of the test geometry dimensions.
