Stereolithography by photopolymerization

4D printing

Additive manufacturing in which the 4th dimension introduced is time. This technology makes it possible to print objects which then change shape on their own or self-assemble over time.

sequential absorption; absorption séquentielle

Light absorption in two stages requiring an intermediate electronic excited state.

simultaneous absorption; simultaneous absorption

Absorption of two photons of light in a single step.

ADP ; two photon absorption

Two-photon absorption.

amorceur; initiator

Element triggering one or more secondary reactions. The initiating reaction often generates a reaction intermediate from a stable molecule, which is then involved in subsequent...
