New horizons for carbon dots: quantum nano-photoinitiating catalysts for cationic photopolymerization and three-dimensional (3D) printing under visible light

Citric acid-based carbon dots (CDs) as nano-photoinitiating catalysts for 3D printing.

Elucidation of Network Structure in Cationic Photopolymerization of Cyclic Ether Comonomers

Although cationic photopolymerizations are not inhibited by oxygen, polymerization rates and conversions of commonly used cycloaliphatic epoxides are typically much lower than industrially prevalent acrylates undergoing free-radical photopolymerization. The addition...

NIR-Sensitized Cationic Photopolymerization of Oxetanes in Combination with Epoxide and Acrylate Monomer

Study of NIR-sensitized cationic photopolymerization focused on a series of oxetanes exhibiting remarkable reactivity. A heptamethine cyanine carrying a cyclopentene moiety at the central position and an iodonium salt comprising...
