Abstract
Catalytic chain transfer photopolymerization (CCTP2) has been developed, using macrocyclic cobalt-based catalysts, as a new method for the fabrication of functional materials through the control of crosslinking photopolymerizations of methacrylate monomers. This study explores the development of this technique, including an in-depth study of the mechanism. This understanding enabled harnessing formulation and processing conditions to enable multi-materials through maskless greyscale exposure, and mechanistically inspired additives to achieve vat photopolymerizations of catalytic chain transfer additives (CCTA) containing resins.
