Opportunity:
Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL), operated by the Lawrence Livermore National Security (LLNS), LLC under contract no. DE-AC52-07NA27344 (Contract 44) with the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), is offering the opportunity to enter into a collaboration to further develop and commercialize its All Liquid Two-Photon Polymerization Resin Formulations Using Cationic Polymerization.
Background:
Radical photoresists are commonly utilized in two-photon polymerization (TPP); however, cationic photoresists have also garnered significant interest. The commercially available epoxy-based SU-8 serves as a prototypical cationic photoresist. The parts of the SU-8 photoresist that are exposed to ultraviolet (UV) light becomes cross-linked while parts that are not UV exposed remain soluble. The resolution achievable with SU-8 in two-photon exposure is generally inferior in comparison to more advanced radical systems due to acid diffusion and the inability for oxygen to quench living cationic polymerization. To prepare for printing, SU-8 must be spin-casted onto a substrate, which limits the height of the printed part to a few microns. To advance cationic photoresist capabilities within TPP, a liquid resist is needed in order to print larger structures with fine resolution.
Description:
LLNL researchers have developed a liquid two-photon polymerization (TPP) epoxy based resin formulation capable of flowing under low load, which enables tall, ce...
