Additive manufacturing processes featuring consolidation of thermoplastic particulates may form printed objects in a range of shapes. Inorganic nanoparticles disposed upon the outer surface of the thermoplastic particulates may improve flow performance of the thermoplastic particulates during additive manufacturing, but may be undesirable to incorporate in some printed objects. Polymer nanoparticles may be substituted for inorganic nanoparticles in some instances to address this difficulty and provide other advantages. Particulate compositions suitable for additive manufacturing may comprise: a plurality of thermoplastic particulates comprising a thermoplastic polymer and a plurality of polymer nanoparticles disposed upon an outer surface of the thermoplastic particulates, the polymer nanoparticles comprising a crosslinked fluorinated polymer.

The present invention provides a polymer which has a polymerizable functional group but still can be thermoformed without being crosslinked and which undergoes crosslinking upon irradiation with an active energy ray after being formed, and a composition including the polymer. An active energy ray crosslinkable thermoplastic polymer includes specific monomer units (1). The ratio of the number of moles of the monomer units represented by the general formula (1) to the number of moles of all monomer units constituting the polymer is not less than 1 mol %. The number average molecular weight (Mn) of the active energy ray crosslinkable thermoplastic polymer is 20,000 to 500,000.

Solution casting a nanostructure. Preparing a template by ablating nanoholes in a substrate using single-femtosecond laser machining. Replicating the nanoholes by applying a solution of a polymer and a solvent into the template. After the solvent has substantially dissipated, removing the replica from the substrate.
