We show here brand-new possibilities of lab-in-lab fabrication while combining holographic photopolymerization and microfluidics. One shot real-time 3D-printing can produce 3D architectured microchannels, or free-standing complex micro-objects eventually in flow. The methodology is very versatile and can be applied to , acrylate resins or hydrogels.

Relatively high volumetric shrinkage induced by polymerization of photopolymer severely limits its applications in high-density holographic storage. In this paper, what we believe to be a novel organic-inorganic hybrid nanoparticles (NPs) of octaphenyl-polyhedral Oligomeric silsesquioxane (POSS) are employed into polyvinyl alcohol (PVA)/acrylamide photopolymer with 300µm thickness. By optimizing the concentration of octaphenyl-POSS, the volumetric shrinkage is successfully suppressed from 1.

High refractive index, low birefringence photopolymers were created via the radical-mediated, ring opening homopolymerization of 1,2-dithiolane functionalized monomers and were subsequently evaluated as holographic recording media. This investigation systematically characterized the reaction kinetics, thermodynamics, and volume shrinkage of the 1,2-dithiolane homopolymerization as well as the optical transparency, refractive index, birefringence, and holographic performance of multifunctional 1,2-dithiolane functionalized monomers and their resultant polymers. Real-time kinetic and thermodynamic analyses of a monofunctional 1,2-dithiolane monomer, lipoic acid methyl ester (LipOMe), indicated rapid monomer conversion, exceeding 90% in 60 s, with an overall enthalpy of reaction of 18 ± 1 kJ/mol.

Polymer systems induced by the reaction between monomers and photo-initiators play a crucial role in the formation of volume-phase gratings. In this paper, we fabricated a dual-photo-initiator photopolymer by doping EY (Eosin Yellow) molecules into a TI (Titanocene, Irgacure 784@BASF) dispersed PMMA (poly-[methyl methacrylate]) substrate system, with the aim of promoting the diffusion and polymerization processes in volume holographic storage. The two-wave interference system is adopted to record a permanent grating structure in our materials.

Curcumin, a natural dye found in the rhizome, commonly called turmeric, is used as a photosensitizer in acrylamide-based photopolymers for holographic data storage. We studied the absorbance of photopolymer films that show two absorption bands due to curcumin, acrylamide monomer (AA), and the crosslinking agent N,N'-methylenebisacrylamide (MBA). Analysis of the real-time diffraction efficiency of these films shows a maximum of 16% for the sample with the highest curcumin concentration.
