Multi-branched benzylidene ketone based photoinitiators for multiphoton fabrication (2017)
Journal Article
Zhang, F., Hu, Q., Castanon, A., He, Y., Liu, Y., Paul, B., Tuck, C., Hague, R. J., & Wildman, R. D. (2017). Multi-branched benzylidene ketone based photoinitiators for multiphoton fabrication. Additive Manufacturing, 16, 206-212. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.addma.2017.06.008

In this article, we report the synthesis of a series of multi-branched benzylidene (BI) ketone-based photo-initiators for two-photon polymerisation based 3D printing/additive manufacturing. Resins prepared by the addition of 1 wt.% of these initiator... Read More about Multi-branched benzylidene ketone based photoinitiators for multiphoton fabrication.

© 2017 Support structures and materials are indispensable components in many Additive Manufacturing (AM) systems in order to fabricate complex 3D structures. For inkjet-based AM techniques (known as Material Jetting), there is a paucity of studies o... Read More about A Tripropylene Glycol Diacrylate-based Polymeric Support Ink for Material Jetting.

Additive manufacture of three dimensional nanocomposite based objects through multiphoton fabrication (2016)
Journal Article
Liu, Y., Hu, Q., Zhang, F., Tuck, C., Irvine, D., Hague, R. J., Yinfeng, H., Simonelli, M., Rance, G., Smith, E., & Wildman, R. D. (2016). Additive manufacture of three dimensional nanocomposite based objects through multiphoton fabrication. Polymers, 8(9), 1-14. https://doi.org/10.3390/polym8090325

Three dimensional structures prepared from a gold-polymer composite formulation have been fabricated using multiphoton lithography. In this process, gold nanoparticles were simultaneously formed through photoreduction whilst polymerisation of two pos...
