Abstract
An understanding of the photochemical and photo-physical
processes, which occur during photopolymerization is of extreme
importance when attempting to improve a photopolymer material’s
performance for a given application. Recent work carried out on the
modelling of the mechanisms which occur in photopolymers during- and
post-exposure, has led to the development of a tool, which can be used to
predict the behaviour of these materials under a wide range of conditions. In
this paper, we explore this Non-local Photo-polymerisation Driven
Diffusion model, illustrating some of the useful trends, which the model
predicts and we analyse their implications on the improvement of
photopolymer material performance.
