Laser modification of an ultra-photosensitive polymer

Project description

A polymer was discovered in our labs that is ultra-sensitive to visible light, allowing it to be modified with a low-powered laser. The project will use this intriguing phenomenon in one or more applications such as information encoding, lithography, remote detonation, laser propulsion in low gravity, and drug release.

Co-supervisors
