monitoring consumption of the olefins in TMPTA as a function of photolysis time. EPR experiments, in conjunction with trapping radical species with 2-methyl-2-nitrosopropane (t-BuNO), identified that acrylate radicals were indeed formed through green light activation. Furthermore, we demonstrate that acrylate polymers of various macroscopic shapes as well as micron-scale objects can be produced using numerous low power visible light sources in the presence of only ZnTPP and TMPTA. These well-defined images represent the general applicability of homomolecular TTA mediated photoinitiated polymerization in both micro-and macro-fabrication applications.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
