SUMMARY:Distinguished Speaker Seminar Series\\ Novel applications and\ndeve
 lopments utilizing photopolymerizations
CLASS:PUBLIC
DESCRIPTION:Photopolymerization reactions have been explored and utilized s
 ince\nthe time of the ancient Egyptians\; however\, development of new\nph
 otopolymerization methodologies and applications continues at an\never mor
 e rapid pace.  Traditionally\, photopolymerization of\nmultifunctional mo
 nomers results in highly crosslinked materials\nsuitable for applications 
 as optical lenses\, optical fiber coatings\,\nand dental materials.  Thes
 e reactions are ubiquitous not only\nbecause of the nature of the final po
 lymer product\, but also for the\ncharacteristics of the reaction itself.
   Photopolymerizations are far\nmore energy efficient than their thermal 
 counterparts\, are typically\nperformed in a solventless manner that is mo
 re environmentally\ncompatible\, the reactions occur rapidly at ambient co
 nditions\, and the\npolymerization can be controlled in both time and spac
 e.
