Abstract

This paper introduces a novel photopolymer resin platform entirely derived from renewable lipoates. This resin can be 3D-printed into high-resolution parts, efficiently deconstructed, and subsequently reprinted in a circular manner, addressing the limitations of current photopolymer resins which are typically derived from petroleum and lack recyclability. The lipoate resin platform is highly modular, allowing for tuning of thermal and mechanical properties.
