Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Vat Photopolymerization 3D Printing: Processes, Materials, and Applications focuses on the cutting-edge vat polymerization additive manufacturing technology, as well as its associated materials and potential applications. The book is divided into four parts, with the first providing some foundational concepts about the technology as well as providing background on the different vat photopolymerization techniques, such as grayscale, volumetric, multiwavelength, two-photon and more. The basic chemistry involved in the vat photopolymerization process is covered here as well. Section 2 discusses vat photopolymerization 3D printing of functional materials, including plastics, hydrogels, stimuli-responsive polymers, ceramics, and more. Section 3 covers various applications of the materials created, and the book concludes with a section looking at the future direction of vat photopolymerization 3D printing. Provides a detailed introduction to the technology, materials, and applications of vat photopolymerization additive manufacturing (AM) Discusses the basic chemistry in the vat photopolymerization process, including chemical reactions, ink components, functional additives, inhibitors, and more Covers techniques for creating plastics, hydrogels, shape memory polymers, ceramics, and more Details applications in bioengineering, engineering, metamaterials, and bio-inspired structures and functions
