New resin enables chemical resistance, UV transparency and the potential for surface functionalisation

Germany-based scientists have prepared a resin combining isocyanate and acrylate moieties that works with stereolithography to 3D print flow reactors. These reactors are then capable of undergoing surface functionalisation to obtain specific surface properties that are useful for photo-oxygenation and photoredox catalysis reactions.
