Technical University of Denmark has patented a resin 3D printing concept that moves the optics instead of exposing a whole ...

Scientists have developed a new dye-free photoalignment method that enables 2-D patterns of liquid crystals in one step by guiding nonpolarized light temporally and spatially on the ...

Study systematically examined how solvent choice within the electrolyte affects both ionic conductivity and the ability to ...

Polymers are materials made out of long, repeating chains of molecules, and it is the interaction between these chains that dictate most of a polymer’s physicochemical properties. In accordance with ...

FUGO Precision 3D created a centrifugal vat-photopolymerization system that enables large build volumes and invisible layer ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) The ability to rapidly transform liquid monomers into solid polymers using light has been a transformative technology for over half a century. This process, known as ...

A new research paper examines how Digital Image Correlation is changing fracture testing of 3D printed polymers.

We photopolymerize complex-shaped particles within glass cells consisting of a standard microscope slide and a 170 μm-thick coverslip, spaced by 50 μm-thick strips of Mylar films. The cell is ...

Researchers have developed an ultra-thin optical film that improves the quality of the light used in LCD resin-based 3D printers. The advance helps ensure that tiny details are reproduced with ...

WE have found a number of examples of dye-induced photopolymerization of styrene, in which excited dye molecules directly interact with vinyl monomers, thus promoting the polymerization reaction.
