The present disclosure provides micelles comprising a plurality of block co-polymers, the micelle comprising (i) a core comprising at least a portion of a poly(alkyl acrylate) block of one or more of the block co-polymers; and (ii) an outer layer comprising at least a portion of a poly(aryl acrylate) block or a poly(aryl methacrylate) block of one or more of the block co-polymers. The present disclosure also includes polymer compositions, polymer films, and devices (e.g., orthodontic equipment) including the same. Methods for making and using micelles, polymer compositions, polymer films, and devices (e.g., orthodontic equipment) are also disclosed. Further provided herein are methods of producing polymer compositions and using the same for the fabrication (e.g., via 3D printing) of medical devices, such as orthodontic appliances.

Additives for 3D printing polymer resins

Provided herein are curable compositions for use in a high temperature lithography-based photopolymerization process, and telechelic block polymers and methods of using such polymers in curable compositions to produce medical devices such as orthodontic appliances comprising the polymeric compositions comprising the telechelic block polymers.
