Water-Soluble Photoinitiators in Biomedical Applications

Abstract: Light-initiated polymerization processes are currently an important tool in various industrial fields. The advancement of technology has resulted in the use of photopolymerization in various biomedical applications, such as the production of 3D hydrogel structures, the encapsulation of cells, and in drug delivery systems. The use of photopolymerization processes requires an appropriate initiating system that, in biomedical applications, must meet additional criteria such as high water solubility, non-toxicity … Show more

“…Indeed, metal complexes are highly controversed photoinitiators/photosensitizers due to their potential toxicities and the resulting photopolymers can't be used for food packaging [290][291] or medical applications. [292][293][294][295][296][297][298][299][300][301] Recently, a great deal of efforts has been devoted to develop biosourced or bioinspired photoinitiating systems. The recent development of chalcones-based photosensitizers corresponds to this new interest, and ferrocene is also well-known to exhibit a low toxicity.…”

“…Photosensitive materials used in 3D printing, in addition to their basic properties, can be modified to obtain unique parameters. The basic way to modify the resins is to change their chemical composition, which includes both the content of monomers and photoinitiating systems [75]. Modifications to the basic resin's composition affect mainly the mechanical and optical properties of the compositions; however, a much wider range of performance parameters can be reached by the preparation of composite materials [76,77].…”

“…This initiator is known on the market as Lucirin Âź TPO. The conduct of its photopolymerization follows an α-cleavage mechanism, in which TPO undergoes hemolytic α-cleavage of the carbon-phosphorus bond and generates two free radicals, ( Table 2) both capable of initiating polymerization [141][142][143][144].…”
