| Abstract Scope |
Recent advances in photopolymerization-based 3D printing technologies for processing microstructured and nanostructured medical devices will be considered. A 3D printing processing approach known as two photon polymerization has been used for selective polymerization of many types of acrylate-based photosensitive resins. Polymerization of structures with microscale and nanoscale features can be obtained since multiphoton absorption exhibits a nonlinear relationship with the incident light intensity. We have used two photon polymerization used to create several types of medical devices with microscale and nanoscale features out of photosensitive polymers and organically-modified ceramic materials. The results of materials testing and application-specific device testing, including in vitro and in vivo studies, will be discussed. |
