Surface Functionalization of Toner Particles for the Assembly of Three-Dimensional Objects via Click Chemistry
The development of acrylic particles with reactive surfaces is described for future application as toners for the construction of three-dimensional objects by an electrophotographic rapid prototyping technique. The acrylic surface of toner particles was functionalized and might allow for the three-dimensional assembly due to covalent bonds which are created via click chemistry.
