Abstract

See full text

Parts made by additive manufacturing are often structural in nature, rather than having functional properties conveyed by a polymer or other component present therein. Printed parts having piezoelectric properties may be formed using compositions comprising a plurality of piezoelectric particles located in a polymer matrix comprising a first polymer material and a sacrificial material that are immiscible with each other. The sacrificial material, which may comprise a second polymer material, may be removable from the first polymer material under specified conditions. The piezoelectric particles may remain substantially non-agglomerated when combined with the polymer matrix. The polymer matrix may be treated to remove the sacrificial material to introduce a plurality of pores. The compositions may have a form factor such as a composite filament, a composite pellet, a composite powder, or a composite paste. Additive manufacturing processes may comprise forming a printed part by depositing the compositions layer-by-layer.
