摘要

Various potential hydrosilylation inhibitors were incorporated into a silicone formulation for 3D printing. Different inhibitors resulted in peak cure temperatures from 42.8 to 180.3°C. The curing behavior of formulations with 1-ethynyl-1-cyclohexanol (ETCH), which exhibited a peak cure temperature of 98.4°C, was characterized for different ETCH concentrations and storage conditions. The curing was modeled using time temperature superposition, revealing an activation barrier of 89 kJ/mol. Overall, characterization resulted in a conservative recommended shelf life of 90 days. These studies offer insights into the stability of these formulations and the importance of inhibition for producing reliable, printable inks.
