Definitions
- the present invention relates to a composition
- a composition comprising at least one polymer, wherein the polymer is in the form of polymer particles, and wherein the composition contains at least one water-soluble agent, wherein the water-soluble agent has a proportion of at most 1 wt .-% of the composition.
- the present invention relates to a method for producing the composition according to the invention and to the use thereof.
- the provision of prototypes and the industrial production of components are becoming increasingly important. Particularly suitable are additive manufacturing processes that operate on the basis of powdery materials, and in which the desired structures are produced in layers by selective melting and solidification or by applying a binder and / or adhesive.
- Additive manufacturing processes enable the production of plastic objects.
- the process is also referred to as additive manufacturing, digital fabrication, or three-dimensional (3D) printing.
- 3D three-dimensional
- additive manufacturing is often replaced by “additive manufacturing” or “rapid technology”.
- Additive manufacturing processes which use a powdery material include, for example, sintering, melting or bonding by binders.
- the powder starting material is chosen in terms of its properties depending on the desired properties of the molded article to be produced. Significant are a corresponding grain size or particle size distribution, a suitable bulk density and sufficient flowability of the powder material.
- grain size describes the size of individual particles or grains in a total mixture.
- the grain or particle size distribution has a significant influence on the material properties of a bulk material, so the granular total mixture, which is in a pourable form, for example in a powdered composition.
- the bulk density ie the density of a granular solid which has not been compressed by, for example, pounding or shaking but by pouring, can be influenced by its particle size or particle diameter and particle properties.
- powders of relatively round grain shape are needed.
- the choice of available materials is limited. For example, it is disadvantageous to use a material obtained by milling because the sharp edges of the particles are poor
- polymer systems have small particle sizes or particle diameters.
- the polymer systems can also be modified during their production, which however often leads to agglomeration of the particles. If such polymer systems are poured into a powder bed of a laser sintering system, for example, clots, that is to say inhomogeneous particle distributions, can form, which do not melt continuously, and a shaped body of inhomogeneous material is obtained, the mechanical stability of which can be reduced. Finally, clumping occurring during pouring can impair the flowability and thus limit the meterability. Therefore, such polymer systems often anti-agglomeration agents (syn.
- polymer systems often show a tendency to warp after the sintering process, so that in the case of moldings which are produced from such polymer systems, the desired dimensions can often not be met.
- composition according to claim 1 which comprises at least one polymer and at least one water-soluble agent. Furthermore, the object is achieved by a method for producing the composition according to claim 25, by a method for producing a component according to claim 28 and by a use of the composition according to the invention according to claim 31.
- the present invention therefore relates to a composition
- a composition comprising
- polymer is in the form of polymer particles and wherein the polymer is selected from at least one thermoplastic polymer, and
- the water-soluble agent has a content of at least 0.005 wt .-%, preferably of at least 0.01 wt .-%, particularly preferably of at least 0.05 wt .-%, in particular of at least 0.075 wt .-%, particularly preferably of at least 0.1 wt .-%, of the composition, and / or wherein the water-soluble agent has a content of at most 1 wt .-%, preferably of at most 0.7 wt .-%, particularly preferably of at most 0.5 wt. -%, in particular of at most 0.3 wt .-%, of the composition, and
- composition being obtainable by melt-dispersing.
- a composition according to the invention comprises a polymer or a polymer system which is selected from a thermoplastic polymer and a water-soluble agent, in particular a dispersant.
- a water-soluble agent is understood to mean an agent which, preferably at room temperature, is soluble in water, that is to say has a solubility of at least about 30 g / l of water.
- an agent which mixes the polymer or the polymer particles and thus enables a mixture of at least two, substantially immiscible phases.
- the composition according to the invention is in the form of a powder.
- the composition has a content of water-soluble agent of 0.005 wt .-%, preferably of at least 0.01 wt .-%, particularly preferably of at least 0.05 wt .-%, in particular of at least 0.075 wt .-%, particularly preferably of at least 0.1% by weight, and / or a content of at most 1% by weight, preferably of at most 0.7% by weight, more preferably of at most 0.5% by weight, in particular of at most 0 , 3 wt .-%, of the composition.
- the water-soluble agent is preferably bound to the polymer or the polymer particles, for example, deposited on the surface thereof.
- Composition or the polymer can effectively prevent caking and thus an accumulation of particles of the polymer system in the composition and counteracts the formation of cavities when pouring, whereby the bulk density of the composition is advantageously increased.
- Too high a content of the water-soluble agent leads to disadvantageous adhesion and / or caking effects of the polymer particles, as a result of which the flowability and the process capability of the particles are greatly impaired.
- composition according to the invention ensures a homogeneous powder structure, so that in this way an improved flowability or flowability and thus in the course of additive manufacturing processes a uniform powder introduction is made possible.
- a good flowability of a bulk material is given when the bulk material can be easily made to flow.
- the particles of a powdery bulk material remain essentially preserved or do not change their shape during transport. The most important parameter for this is the flowability.
- melt dispersion is to be understood as meaning a process which heats at least one first component, preferably the polymer, to its melting temperature and provides in this step or subsequently with at least one second component, preferably with a water-soluble agent, in particular with a dispersant or mixed or admixed.
- first component preferably the polymer
- second component preferably with a water-soluble agent
- mixing, admixing, blending and compounding are understood to be synonymous.
- a process of mixing, mixing, blending or compounding can be carried out in the course of melt extrusion in the extruder or in the kneader and optionally comprises process operations such as melting, dispersing, etc.
- a polymer or a polymer system is understood as meaning at least one homo- and / or one heteropolymer which is composed of several monomers. While homopolymers have a covalent linking of identical monomers, heteropolymers (also called copolymers) are composed of covalent linkages of different monomers.
- a polymer system according to the present invention may comprise both a mixture of the abovementioned homo- and / or heteropolymers or else more than one polymer system. Such a mixture is also referred to in the present patent application as a polymer blend.
- Heteropolymers in the context of the present invention can be selected from random copolymers in which the distribution of the two monomers in the chain is random, from gradient copolymers which are in principle similar to the random copolymers, but in which the proportion of one monomer in the course of the chain and the other decreases, from alternating copolymers in which the monomers alternately alternate, from block copolymers or segmented copolymers consisting of longer sequences or blocks of each monomer, and from graft copolymers in which blocks of a monomer onto the skeleton (backbone) grafted on of another monomer.
- the composition of the invention can be advantageously used for additive manufacturing processes.
- Additive manufacturing processes include in particular processes which are suitable for the production of prototypes (rapid prototyping) and components (rapid manufacturing), preferably from the group of powder bed-based processes comprising laser sintering, high-speed sintering, multi-jet fusion, binder jetting selective mask sintering or selective laser melting.
- the composition of the invention is intended for use in laser sintering.
- laser sintering is synonymous with the term “selective laser sintering” to understand; the latter is just the older name.
- the present invention relates to a method for producing a composition according to the invention, the method comprising the following steps:
- providing is meant both an on-site production and a delivery of a polymer or a polymer system.
- composition according to the invention is packaged, a packaging process advantageously takes place in the absence of moisture.
- a composition produced by the process according to the invention is advantageously used as a solidifiable powder material in a process for the layered production of a three-dimensional object of powdery material, successive layers of the object to be formed from this solidifiable powder material successively at corresponding or predetermined locations by the entry of energy, preferably of electromagnetic radiation, in particular by the entry of laser light, solidified.
