The field of 3D printing is continuing its rapid development in both academic and industrial research environments. The development of 3D printing technologies has opened new implementations in rapid prototyping, tooling, dentistry, microfluidics, biomedical devices, tissue engineering, drug delivery, etc. Among different 3D printing techniques, photopolymerization-based process (such as stereolithography and digital light processing) offers flexibility over the final properties of the 3D printed materials (such as optical, chemical, and mechanical properties) using versatile polymer chemistry. The strategy behind the 3D photopolymerization is based on using monomers/oligomers in liquid state (in the presence of photoinitiators) that can be photopolymerized (via radical or cationic mechanism) upon exposure to light source of different wavelengths (depending on the photoinitiator system). An overview of recent evolutions in the field of photopolymerization-based 3D printing and highlights of novel 3D print...read more

Simultaneous Photoinduced ATRP and CuAAC Reactions for the Synthesis of Block Copolymers.
TL;DR: A novel in situ photoinduced formation of block copolymers is described by simultaneous ATRP and CuAAC processes that relies on the direct reduction of initially charged copper(II) complexes to Cu(I) complex to trigger both ATRP or CuAac reactions coinciding under UV light at ambient temperature in one pot.

Biofilm dispersal using nitric oxide loaded nanoparticles fabricated by photo-PISA: influence of morphology
TL;DR: Interestingly, the NO release rate and the dispersal of biofilms were found to strongly depend on the NP morphology, and NPs with a higher aspect ratio (worms) exhibited a slower NO released rate and greater biofilm dispersal after 1 h of incubation.
