Recent Advances and Developments in Composite Dental Restorative Materials (2011, background): “This photopolymerization reaction consists of three steps—initiation, propagation, and termination—and complexities arise in polymerization kinetics, network evolution, and the material property development (Kloosterboer, 1988; Anseth et al., 1995; Lovell et al., 2001a, b; Bowman and Kloxin, 2008).”
Photoinitiated polymerization of PEG-diacrylate with lithium phenyl-2,4,6-trimethylbenzoylphosphinate: polymerization rate and cytocompatibility (2009, background): “Photopolymerizations are also generally advantageous as a means for cellular encapsulation, based on their rapid reaction rates which enable facile encapsulation without significant cell settling, and the ability to initiate the polymerization without a need for high temperatures or extreme pH condi”
Cytocompatible Click-based Hydrogels with Dynamically-Tunable Properties Through Orthogonal Photoconjugation and Photocleavage Reactions (2011, background): “Accordingly, photochemical reactions are widely regarded for their spatiotemporal control, where the reaction of interest is defined by when and where light is delivered to the syste”
