Polyurethane thin films that photopolymerize and photodegrade upon exposure to light of different wavelengths are presented. The chromic response is based on two caged monomers with the ability to be activated or photocleaved with different wavelengths under single and two-photon excitation. This ma

We describe a simple, off-the-beaten-path strategy for making clay/polymer nanocomposites through tandem diazonium salt interface chemistry and radical photopolymerization. Prior to photopolymerization, sodium montmorillonite (MMT) was ion exchanged with N,N'-dimethylbenzenediazonium cation (DMA) fr

OBJECTIVES: The majority of modern resin-based oral restorative biomaterials are cured via photopolymerization processes. A variety of light sources are available for this light curing of dental materials, such as composites or fissure sealants. Quartz-tungsten-halogen (QTH) light curing units (LCUs
