Expert Details
Polymer Photochemistry
ID: 108152
Ohio, USA
Expert has done extensive research in the area of stereolithography technology, linking the power of computer graphics to the rapid formation by photopolymerization of a solid, shaped object.
The Expert' research program is recognized within the Center for Photochemical Sciences at Bowling Green University for its specific expertise in organic photochemical processes. Expert is familiar with many of the generic spectroscopic tools, including nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR) and ultraviolet (UV) spectroscopy. In addition, he is particularly experienced in absorption and emission spectroscopies, and in the development and use of quantitative experimental methods to study the formation of photopolymers, as in photoresists, and their degradation. He is also knowledgeable in the fields of crosslinking, light stabilization of paints and polymers, synthetic organic polymers, fluorescence spectroscopy, dyes, curing, photolithography, and the encapsulation of electronic components.
