Advantages of combining cellulosic polymers and lipids in extruded 3D printing filaments - Part I
ECP - Mar 2025
This study explores the use of 3D printing, specifically fused deposition modeling (FDM), for personalized medicine by combining lipids and cellulosic excipients like hypromellose (HPMC). Hot-melt extrusion (HME) is employed to create filaments, with a focus on balancing processing temperatures and mechanical properties.
Advantages of combining polymers and lipids in extrusion processes
PBP - Mar 2024
Lipid excipients lower the glass transition temperature of polymers, enabling hot-melt extrusion at lower engine torque for better processability. Different polymers and lipid combinations have been tested to explore their potential in extrusion processes.
