A method for rapidly fabricating or repairing a fiber reinforced composite may include the use of a covalent adaptable network polymer (CAN) powder for encapsulating reinforcing fibers or welding to a CAN matrix. The fiber reinforced composite may be formed or repaired by applying CAN powder to reinforcing fibers or to a damaged area of a fiber reinforcing composite and compressing the CAN powder with the reinforcing fibers or the damaged area of the fiber reinforced composite at a relatively low temperature, temperature and processing time to form a CAN matrix. The method may be configured for fabricating a fiber reinforced composite having specific desired material properties by varying the arrangement and materials used.

Polymerizable liquids are described herein which, in some embodiments, can produce 3D printed articles of high resolution and desirable mechanical properties. In one aspect, a polymerizable liquid comprises an acrylate component, a polymeric additive, and a monomeric curing agent, wherein the acrylate component and monomeric curing agent are copolymerizable upon exposure to light. In being copolymerizable, the acrylate component and monomeric curing agent can form a copolymer. As described father herein, the monomeric curing agent can enable further reaction of the copolymer with one or more crosslinking species to link the copolymer with one more polymeric networks.
