Frontally polymerized foams: thermodynamic and kinetical aspects of front hindrance by particles

Abstract

Frontal polymerization (FP) is a solvent-free, energy-efficient process where a self-propagating polymerization reaction with a characteristic sharp temperature gradient at the front head propagates through the resin to provide the...

Naphthalene–stilbenes as effective visible-light sensitizers to study the effect of diluent and nanofillers on in situ photopolymerization and 3D-VAT printing process

“…This strengthening is attributed to the unreacted monomer thermally post-cured 30 during the measurement by the IOD photoinitiator decomposing at high temperatures. 68 Nevertheless, the diluent type greatly impacted the chain mobility, as apparent from the varied T g . As expected, the highest T g was found for IBOA, a reactive free-radical diluent, which can cure alongside the primary monomer.…”
