摘要

We report a random acrylate terpolymer (MMA-co-MA-co-BA) engineered to produce a ductile, additive-free material suitable for fused filament fabrication feedstocks. The incorporation of acrylate comonomers ensures flexibility and thermal stability of the material. By tuning the glass transition (Tg = 36.3°C), the material facilitates a thermal environment conducive to inter-bead polymer diffusion. This enables the material to achieve an isotropic elastic stiffness (~ 1400 MPa) and retain 80% of its longitudinal strength under transverse loading, theoretically driven by enhanced chain reptation across the deposition interfaces, validating its utility for functional additive manufacturing.
