Modeling material formulation systems usable in additive manufacturing, 3D inkjet printing in particular, of three-dimensional objects, are provided. The formulations comprise two or more curable materials, such that an average molecular weight of the curable materials in each formulation is no more than 500 grams/mol, such that each formulation features a viscosity of no more than 50 centipoises at a temperature of 35° C. Kits comprising the formulations or formulation systems and additive manufacturing processes utilizing same are also provided.

Modeling material formulations usable in additive manufacturing of three-dimensional objects at low temperatures

A composition-of-matter comprising a plurality of particles is disclosed herein, the particles comprising a compound (e.g., an element or a mixture of elements) which forms an alloy with an alkali metal and/or an alloy of an alkali metal with said compound. The alloy is characterized by reversibly releasing the alkali metal and absorbing the alkali metal. Some or all of the particles are encapsulated within a volume enclosed by a shell or matrix which conducts cations of the alkali metal, wherein a volume of the alloy upon maximal absorption of the alkali metal does not exceed the volume enclosed by a shell or matrix. Further disclosed herein is a process of preparing a composition-of-matter, which is effected by coating particles comprising an alloy saturated with the alkali metal with a conductor of cations of the alkali metal, as well as electrochemical half cells and batteries including the composition-of-matter.
