Recent advances highlight the potential of photopolymerizable allylated gelatin (GelAGE) as a versatile hydrogel with highly tailorable properties. It is, however, unknown how different photoinitiating system affects the stability, gelation kinetics and curing depth of GelAGE. In this study, sol fraction, mass swelling ratio, mechanical properties, rheological properties, and curing depth were evaluated as a function of time with three photo-initiating systems: Irgacure 2959 (Ig2959; 320–500 nm), lithium phenyl-2,4,6-trimethylbenzoylphosphinate (LAP; 320–500 nm), and ruthenium/sodium persulfate (Ru/SPS; 400–500 nm). Results demonstrated that GelAGE precursory solutions mixed with either Ig2959 or LAP remained stable over time while the Ru/SPS system enabled the onset of controllable redox polymerization without irradiation during pre-incubation. Photo-polymerization using the Ru/SPS system was significantly faster (<5 s) compared to both Ig2959 (70 s) and LAP (50 s). Plus, The Ru/SPS system was capable of polymerizing a thick construct (8.88 ± 0.94 mm), while Ig2959 (1.62 ± 0.49 mm) initiated hydrogels displayed poor penetration depth with LAP (7.38 ± 2.13 mm) in between. These results thus support the use of the visible light based Ru/SPS photo-initiator for constructs requiring rapid gelation and a good curing depth while Ig2959 or LAP can be applied for photo-polymerization of GelAGE materials requiring long-term incubation prior to application if UV is not a concern.

Stereolithography is a rapid manufacturing process that builds objects layer-by-layer based on the photo polymerization of a liquid resin. Due to the good geometric precision, this process has been used in Rapid Tooling for injection moulding. These tools are suitable for the production of short runs of parts and prototypes, where without resorting to the manufacture of a conventional metallic mould. The mechanical and thermal properties of the stereolitography resins, used in the manufacture of hybrid moulds, differ substantially from those of the conventional metallic materials. Particularly they must be known for guaranteeing the structural integrity and the thermal performance of the mould. Also the chemistry behaviour of the resin in contact with the polymer is important when tribological aspects are involved, especially during the ejection of the moulding. In this work, the behaviour of hybrid moulds with SL Vantico 5260 resin moulding cores was assessed. Several thermoplastics (iPP, ABS, PET and PA 6.6) were moulded, and their mechanical, thermal and chemical properties considered and related to the performance of the moulding process. Also, the friction properties of the SL resin in contact with the moulded thermoplastic in moulding conditions were observed and considered in the context of the performance of hybrid moulds.

The photo-polymerization induced by Two-Photon Absorption (TPA) is tightly confined in the focus because the efficiency of TPA is proportional to the square of intensity. Three-dimensional (3D) micro-fabrication can be achieved by controlling the movement of the focus. Based on this theory, a system for 3D-micro-fabrication with femtosecond laser is proposed. The system consists of a laser system, a microscope system, a real-time detection system and a 3D-movement system, etc. The precision of micro-machining reaches a level down to 700nm linewidth. The line width was inversely proportional to the fabrication speed, but proportional to laser power and NA. The experiment results were simulated, beam waist of 0.413μm and TPA cross section of 2×10-54cm4s was obtained. While we tried to optimize parameters, we also did some research about its applications. With TPA photo-polymerization by means of our experimental system, 3D photonic crystal of wood-pile structure twelve layers and photonic crystal fiber are manufactured. These results proved that the micro-fabrication system of TPA can not only obtain the resolution down to sub-micron level, but also realize real 3D micro-fabrication.

The additive manufacturing technique represents a way to realize components or prototypes without the use of conventional tools.The research presented aims at proposing a methodology based on the use of three different techniques that are the poly-jet 3D using UV photo-polymerization, the FDM of polyamide materials and the FDM of PLA materials. The original data were used at the beginning with the first technique in order to detect the shape and the geometry by a 3D SCANNER. The objective was the re-building of a model shape made using a procedure in which the input file characteristics were updated starting from those got by the scanning device in order to respect the original requirements defined in the computer aided environment. It was found that the physical re-building of an object is depending the characteristics of the input file that needs to be digitally processed in order to get the desired shape and geometry. In that way also FDM using PLA and polyamide materials can be utilized to get components or prototypes from scanned digital data. The results are reported in details.

AbstractSome classes of liquid crystalline monoacrylates having no methylene spacers in a side chain have been prepared. The liquid crystalline monoacrylates have effects to reduce the driving voltage and the hysteresis for a light scattering display of Polymer Network liquid crystals prepared by photo-polymerization-induced phase separation.By photo-polymerization of a chiral monoacrylate monomer in a nematic liquid crystalline host including a black dichroic dye, a polarizer free reflective Spiral Polymer Aligned Nematic (SPAN) Guest Host (GH) LCD exhibiting a low driving voltage has been fabricated. The effect of the spiral polymers made of some kinds of chiral monoacrylates for a Super Twisted Nematic (STN) LCD using SPAN liquid crystals is discussed.UV-curable liquid crystals showing nematic phases at room temperature have been developed. By in situ photo-polymerization, the UV-curable liquid crystals can be utilized for the retardation film with high quality and good thermal stability. The fabrication of various kinds of retardation film using the UV-curable liquid crystals is discussed.UV-curable liquid crystals having isotropic-nematic-smectic A phase sequence have been developed and the photo-polymerization at the state of their uniaxially oriented smectic A phases at room temperature is discussed. The polymerized film is optically uniaxial and transparent without light scattering.
