Abstract: This disclosure describes processes for producing polymer foams, and compositions of matter relating to these processes. A process includes the steps of dispersing an organic nucleating agent in a dispersing medium to obtain an additive dispersion, contacting the additive dispersion with a mineral nucleating agent to obtain a hybrid nucleating agent containing the organic nucleating agent localized on at least a portion of a surface of the mineral nucleating agent, and contacting the hybrid nucleating agent with a polymer in the presence of a foaming agent to obtain a polymer foam. A foamed polymer of the present disclosure includes a cellular matrix containing a polymer material, and a mineral matrix of particles containing a hybrid nucleating agent dispersed in the cellular matrix, in which the hybrid nucleating agent contains an organic nucleating agent localized on at least a portion of a surface of an inorganic material.

Abstract: A reinforced resin composition may include a polycarbonate, a functionalizing agent, and an inorganic filler that has been functionalized with the functionalizing agent, the functionalized inorganic filler being present in an amount ranging from 1 to 25 percent by weight of the resin composition. The reinforced resin may exhibit a melt flow index of 25 or less, when measured at a load of 1.2 kg, after allowing the resin to remain at a temperature of 300° C. for 10 minutes. A method of reducing thermal degradation of a reinforced polycarbonate material may include introducing into said polycarbonate material at least one inorganic filler functionalized with a functionalizing agent, such that the reinforced resin exhibits a melt flow index of 25 or less, when measured at a load of 1.2 kg, after allowing the resin to remain at a temperature of 300° C. for 10 minutes.

Abstract: A deaerated talc may include micronized, talc powder having a Hegman rating of 4.0 or greater. A deaerated talc may include micronized talc powder having enough cohesive strength for form agglomerations measuring 100 millimeters or less, 75 millimeters or less, or 50 millimeters or less. A deaerated talc product may include a micronized talc powder, and a bag containing the deaerated talc. The micronized talc powder may be deaerated via application of force to the micronized talc powder in at least two directions, including a first direction substantially parallel to the longitudinal direction of the bag and a second direction.

Abstract: A composition for fused filament fabrication may include polylactic acid resin and talc. The composition may range from 50% by weight to 99% by weight polylactic acid resin, and from 7% by weight to 40% by weight talc. The composition may be configured as filaments or pellets adapted to be used in a fused filament fabrication process. A method for generating a resin-based structure may include providing a resin source that may include polylactic acid resin and talc. The resin source may include from 50% by weight to 99% by weight polylactic acid resin, and from 7% by weight to 40% by weight talc. The method may also include heating the resin source to a temperature greater than the melting temperature for semi-crystalline resins or significantly greater than glass transition temperature for amorphous resins, and depositing the heated resin source in a layered manner to form the resin-based structure.

Abstract: This disclosure describes a composition for additive manufacturing, which contains a thermoplastic polymer and a mineral additive capable of reducing a specific heat of the composition relative to a specific heat of the thermoplastic polymer. A proportion of the mineral additive in the composition may be set such that the specific heat of the composition is equal to or less than 95% of the specific heat of the thermoplastic polymer, and the composition may be in the form of a filament, rod, pellet or granule. Compositions disclosed herein may be adapted to function as compositions suitable for performing additive manufacturing by material extrusion. Also disclosed herein are additive manufacturing processes and methods for producing the compositions for fused filament fabrication.
