The world’s first research results come from the Institute of Organic Chemistry of the Russian Academy of Sciences. Scientists say that this 3D printed material is created from carbon dioxide and water, which is an almost unlimited amount of the cheapest ingredients. The prepared polymer showed high chemical stability, resistance to oxidation, and green laser pointer resistance to chemical solvents.
It does not decompose in the natural environment and can be reused multiple times. Products made from this polymer have good durability, and since 3D printing can create almost any complex object, its application range will be very wide.
More importantly, because this Green Laser Pointer material can be recycled and reused, at the end of its life cycle, products printed by 3D can be converted into carbon dioxide and water through combustion, and then synthesized into cellulose through the plant’s photosynthetic system. This closed carbon neutralization cycle does not pollute the environment, and the materials come from natural sources and can be carried out indefinitely.
