摘要： Direct ink writing (DIW) is an economical, straightforward, and relatively energy-efficient 3D printing technique that has been used in various domains. However, the utilization of rubber latex for DIW remains limited due to its high fluidity and inadequate support, which makes it challenging to meet the required ink rheological characteristics for DIW. In this study, a concentrated pre-vulcanized natural rubber latex (CPNRL) ink with a high solid content of 73% without additives is developed for DIW 3D printing. The CPNRL ink is concentrated using superabsorbent polymer (SAP) beads, which demonstrates good colloidal stability, favorable rheological properties, and superior printability. The impact of printing angles on the mechanical properties of the rubber specimens based on the CPNRL-73 ink is explored in detail, wherein the tensile strength of the specimen printed at a 90 degrees angle reaches an impressive 26 MPa and a strain of approximately 800%, which surpasses the majority of 3D-printed rubber latex specimens. Additionally, the CPNRL ink can be used to print a wide range of intricate shapes, demonstrating its advantages in excellent formability. The preparation of 3D printable ink using the absorption method will expand the application of elastomers in fields such as customized flexible sensing and personalized rubber products.
