摘要

A novel approach for imparting thermos-responsivity to 3D monolith is introduced based on incorporation of a moiety with temperature-dependent solubility in target media in printing ink and fabrication of a collapsible monolith. More precisely, 2-acrylamido-2-methylpropane sulfonic acid (AMPS) is utilized in ABS-like commercial resin to fabricate a monolith, which was stable in aqueous media at low temperature and collapsible at high temperatures. The effects of influential factors, such as loading of AMPS, 3D-pattern, post-treatment of printed monolith, and immiscibility with printing resin were studied and it was underlined that only a small content of AMPS could induce the collapsible feature and prolonging post-curing of the monolith can be leveraged for controlling its collapsing behavior. To exemplify the utility of the developed monolith, Methylene blue dye was incorporated in the 3D-printed monolith and its temperature-dependence release, which triggered color change was confirmed for potential use as temperature-indicator. Furthermore, it was approved that 2-phenylimidazole that is a potential anti-corrosive agent could be embedded in the monolith for devising thermos-responsive releasing agents. This protocol obviates the necessity of use of thermos-responsive polymers and hydrogels, and decreases the fabrication cost, paving the way for designing 3D-printed sacrificing agents for various applications.
