This is a literature review for a study on the chemical resistance of 3D printable polymers. This literature review is initially targeted at liquid chemicals which can "attack" 3D printed polymers. In the future gas and plasma attack can be studied but for now it is out of the scope of this lit review.

3D printing materials and their chemical properties

PLA (Polylactic acid)

One of the most used 3D printing filaments. Various vendors and available in multiple colors. Biodegradable, potentially not very resistant to chemicals.

ABS (Acrylonitrile butadiene styrene)

Co-polyesters

Commercial 3D printing filaments: Inova Co-Polyester, ColorFabb nGen

PETG

PP (Polypropylene)

Resistant to various laboratory chemicals

PC (Polycarbonate)

PETT

Taulman T-glase is made of PETT.

FEP

PEI

Ultem(R) is a commercial plastic which mainly consists of PEI.

Nylon

Taulman Alloy 910 is apparently Nylon-based.

Liquid chemicals

organic polymers can be here taken as the normal
What reactions happen in organic polymers in liquids?

Organic polymers

Focus here in differences of organic polymers, their production, etc
