Lights, chemistry, action plots: Rethinking photoresin design in additive manufacturing

One of the guiding principles in photochemical reaction design is that absorptivity is proportionate to reactivity. However, recent works have challenged this assumption. Utrosa and coworkers demonstrate that photoacids and photobases exhibit absorptivity- ...

Overview of Tacticity Control in Radical Polymerization

Daryl Yee Wei Liang

The stereoregularity of a polymer plays a key role in determining its properties. While stereocontrol can easily be achieved in coordination and ionic polymerization, it remains a challenge with radical polymerization. Considering the ubiquity and versatil ...

Rationally Designing the Supramolecular Interfaces of Nanoparticle Superlattices with Multivalent Polymers

Daryl Yee Wei Liang

In supramolecular materials, multiple weak binding groups can act as a single collective unit when confined to a localized volume, thereby producing strong but dynamic bonds between material building blocks. This principle of multivalency provides a versat ...

A HAPPI solution: Photothermal additive manufacturing of unmodified thermoset resins

Daryl Yee Wei Liang

The direct additive manufacturing (AM) of thermally cured thermosets is a long-standing challenge in the AM community. To address this, Boydston and coworkers developed a novel vat-based AM technology, termed HAPPI, that can be used with unmodified Sylgard ...
