Abstract

Photopolymers represent the largest portion of the additive manufacturing materials market and have a wide variety of applications. The term photopolymer refers to a class of light-sensitive resins that solidify when exposed to ultraviolet light. They are mainly composed of monomers, binders, and photoinitiators. Photopolymerization finds immense applications in the field of microelectronics, printing plates, coatings, adhesives, dentistry, contact lenses, and so on. Photopolymers are also applied in 3D printing to create complex architectures with better mechanical and chemical functionalities. Development of variety of functional resins can extend the applications of photopolymers in biomedical and electronic industries. This chapter details various types of photopolymers, their properties, and applications in 3D printing.
