Saudi Arabian Oil had six patents in 3D printing during Q2 2024. The patent describes a method of manufacturing an article by melt-mixing two polymers and potentially an additive to create a thermoplastic composition. The first polymer has a lower melting point or glass transition temperature than the second polymer, which acts as a network to contain the first polymer melt. The article is formed at a temperature between the melting points of the two polymers using various methods such as extrusion, molding, or additive manufacturing.

Application: Methods of manufacturing articles from casson compositions and articles formed therefrom (Patent ID: US20240199824A1)

The patent filed by the Saudi Arabian Oil Co. describes a method for manufacturing articles using a thermoplastic composition formed by melt-mixing two polymers and potentially an additive. The first polymer has a lower melting point or glass transition temperature compared to the second polymer, which acts as a network for containing the first polymer melt. The articles are then shaped using various methods such as extrusion, molding, or additive manufacturing within a specific temperature range determined by the melting points of the polymers involved.

The method allows for the creation of articles with a co-continuous morphology, where the first and second polymers form distinct phases within the composition. The volume ratio of the two polymers can vary within a specified range, and the addition of additives like compatibilizers, fillers, or flame retardants is also possible. The resulting articles exhibit specific flow properties, such as being Casson fluids with shear-thinning behavior at high shear rates. The process involves precise temperature control during both the mixing and shaping stages to ensure the desired properties in the final article, which can be used in various applications due to its unique composition and characteristics.
