The ubiquitous nature of polymers have led to a widespread demand for sustainable polymers in numerous industrial applications. However, lack of well laid out guidelines, product development pathways and certifications have resulted in a lot of commotions and confusions within the polymer value chain. Herein, a meticulous review is conducted on the topic of polymer sustainability shedding light on the standards, product declarations, biobased-biomass concepts, product carbon footprint etc. It is critical that companies significantly contribute on such sustainability efforts in lieu of market readiness and competitive advantages. Any discussion within the sustainability horizon references a couple of terms/ abbreviations/concepts. In this article, such key terminologies and concepts related to polymer sustainability are reviewed with a holistic outlook on the widespread approaches within the polymer sustainability horizon.

“…According to Equation (12), increasing the wavelength of the incident light results in an increase in the curing thickness. Conventional UV curing processes use mercury lamps, electrode-free lamps, excimer lamps, or LEDs as light sources [ 26 ]. These light sources emit UV light of different wavelengths.…”

“…The VP process typically uses UV light as the source of curing energy. UV curing technology has the advantages of being highly efficient, environmentally friendly, energy-saving, enabling, and economical, as well as having a shorter curing time [ 26 ]. The above advantages make it widely applicable for oxide ceramics (e.g., Al 2 O 3 , ZrO 2 ) [ 27 , 28 , 29 , 30 ] and bio ceramics (e.g., HA, TCP) [ 31 , 32 ].…”

Vat photopolymerization (VP), as an additive manufacturing process, has experienced significant growth due to its high manufacturing precision and excellent surface quality. This method enables the fabrication of intricate shapes and structures while mitigating the machining challenges associated with non-oxide ceramics, which are known for their high hardness and brittleness. Consequently, the VP process of non-oxide ceramics has emerged as a focal point in additive manufacturing research areas. However, the absorption, refraction, and reflection of ultraviolet light by non-oxide ceramic particles can impede light penetration, leading to reduced curing thickness and posing challenges to the VP process. To enhance the efficiency and success rate of this process, researchers have explored various aspects, including the parameters of VP equipment, the composition of non-oxide VP slurries, and the surface modification of non-oxide particles. Silicon carbide and silicon nitride are examples of non-oxide ceramic particles that have been successfully employed in VP process. Nonetheless, there remains a lack of systematic induction regarding the curing mechanisms and key influencing factors of the VP process in non-oxide ceramics. This review firstly describes the curing mechanism of the non-oxide ceramic VP process, which contains the chain initiation, chain polymerization, and chain termination processes of the photosensitive resin. After that, the impact of key factors on the curing process, such as the wavelength and power of incident light, particle size, volume fraction of ceramic particles, refractive indices of photosensitive resin and ceramic particles, incident light intensity, critical light intensity, and the reactivity of photosensitive resins, are systematically discussed. Finally, this review discusses future prospects and challenges in the non-oxide ceramic VP process. Its objective is to offer valuable insights and references for further research into non-oxide ceramic VP processes.

Any discussion within the sustainability horizon references a couple of terms/abbreviations/concepts. In this article, such key terminologies and concepts related to polymer sustainability are reviewed with a holistic outlook on the widespread approaches within the polymer sustainability horizon. In the polymer raw material manufacturers, the mass balance approach has gained more momentum with International Sustainability and Carbon Certification (ISCC). Product carbon footprint, life cycle analysis and third-party certifications were noted as the three key factors of sustainability engagement, with polymer manufactures placing sustainability commitments and targets for carbon emissions control. It is foreseen that a collaborative network between academic research, raw material manufacturers and the upstream companies and consumers will drive the sustainable polymer products market.
