Unlocking superior dispersion uniformity in powder-binder feedstock for near net-shaping via Hansen solubility-guided design
Powder injection molding and extrusion-based 3D printing which using thermoplastic feedstock, are pivotal manufacturing technologies. Feedstock design critically influences product quality, yet a systematic scientific methodology remains lacking. In this study, we proposed a Hansen solubility parameter (HSP)-guided strategy leveraging polymer intermolecular interaction to design and optimize polyformaldehyde (POM)-based binder systems for cermet powder. Different functional polymers/groups were evaluated within the POM binder matrix. We demonstrated that polystyrene (PS) improved the dispersion uniformity of the binder phase and reduced the feedstock viscosity and crystallization tendency. Epoxy resin (EP) adsorbed onto the powder surface through chemical bonding, improving powder and binder dispersibility through its strong interaction with POM compatibility. The HSP-optimized feedstock demonstrated improved phase dispersion, reduced binder aggregation, and enhanced debinding and molding properties compared to conventional POM-based feedstock. This work validated the HSP-guided strategy as a viable design tool for thermoplastic feedstocks, providing a design framework applicable to both powder injection molding and extrusion-based 3D printing.
