What are photopolymers? Photopolymers are imaging compositions based on polymers/oligomers/monomers which can be selectively polymerized and/or crosslinked upon imagewise exposure by light radiation such as ultra-violet light. For final use, they are made into different forms including film/sheet, liquid, solution etc. which find outlets in printing plates, photoresists, stereolithography and imaging. A popular use of liquid photopolymers is in making of rubber stamps. Photoresists are used to make integrated circuits, flat panel displays, printed circuits, chemically milled parts, MEMS (microelectromechanical systems) etc. Similar liquid compositions can also be used for non-imaging applications such as adhesives, coatings and inks. A photopolymer product can be applied as a very thin coating as in liquid photoresists or formed into a large model as in a stereolithographic equipment.
