Composite powder design strategy and vat photopolymerization 3D printing performance of functional lithium disilicate glass-ceramics

Caption

The image illustrates a composite slurry design incorporating carbon and zinc oxide powders into lithium disilicate glass powder to modulate light scattering behavior in vat photopolymerization 3D printing. The upper left depicts the slurry composition design; the simulation in the upper right compares light propagation across groups, showing that the LDCxZny composite exhibits reduced scattering with adequate curing depth; the lower left comparison demonstrates significantly enhanced printing precision for LDC0.4Zn2.5; and the characterization charts in the lower right reveal that its mechanical and antibacterial properties outperform those of the pure lithium disilicate group.
