Polymerization-induced phase separation
Our method combines the benefits of 3D printing via digital light processing (DLP) and polymerization-induced phase separation, resulting in the creation of 3D polymer objects that offer vast design flexibility at the macroscopic scale while maintaining controllable inherent porosity at the sub-micrometer scale. This innovation allows for precise control over the material's structure and properties, opening up a range of potential applications in fields such as biomedicine and materials science.
