Photocrosslinkable Polymers for Biomedical Applications

Photopolymerization techniques provide a number of economic advantages over the usual thermal techniques. These include: rapid cure reaction, low energy requirements, use of room temperature and solvent free formulations as well as low cost. Light beams are used to start the photochemical reactions in organic materials (monomers, oligomers, polymers) to form a new polymeric system This techniqu...

Azobenzene Polymers for Photonic Applications

Azobenzene, with two phenyl rings separated by an azo (–N=N–) bond, serves as the parent molecule for a broad class of aromatic azo compounds. These chromophores are versatile molecules, and have received much attention in research areas both fundamental and applied. The strong electronic absorption maximum can be tailored by ring substitution to fall anywhere from the ultraviolet (UV) to visib...
