The development of biocompatible resins for 3D printing has ushered in an exciting era of rapid prototyping and manufacture of bespoke products for the dental and medical sectors. But are researchers and healthcare practitioners placing too much faith in the claims of ‘biocompatibility’ made by some manufacturers? A study carried out at Northwestern University found […]

3D printing continues to gain ground in the field of dental applications, but work remains to obtain a complete picture of how their final properties are formed during the post-curing stage, most crucially for the development of reliable appliances. These methods, known as additive methods, demand further research in order to achieve the market and […]

Vitrimers are emerging as a spin-off class of plastic polymer that may challenge the traditional division of polymers into thermoplastics and thermosets. They represent a class of versatile, sustainable second-generation dynamic networks that can be accessed by high-temperature functionalisation of disposed plastics. They offer a distinct advantage over thermosets that cannot be recycled or re-processed […]
