这项研究的基本前提是两方面的：第一， 充分利用激光引发聚合的能力 作为一个关键的和新的方法来探测动力学和 光聚合过程中的各种机制， 许多不同类型的单体体系的条件; 第二，建立一个基本原理， 激光引发聚合应用的参数 例如成像、光学涂层的固化 光纤、微电路加工等。 迅速发展的激光引发聚合领域及其 在美国工业中使用的潜力不能被低估。 我们 我将继续研究聚合的基本原理 简单单官能单体在本体和溶液中的动力学， 同时特别强调激光引发的 多官能/交联单体和聚合 液晶系统。 此外，我们建议 研究激光引发的其他聚合类型 包括模板化体系，阳离子引发的聚合， 和微乳液，以提供基本的动力学 对这些系统进行分析。

The basic premise for this research is two-fold: first, to exploit the full capabilities of laser-initiated polymerization as a critical and novel method for probing the kinetics and mechanisms of photopolymerization processes under a variety of conditions for a number of different types of monomer systems; and, second, to establish a rationale for defining the operating parameter for laser-initiated polymerization applications for such applications as imaging, curing of coatings for optical fibers, microcircuit processing, etc. The importance of the rapidly developing laser-initiated polymerization field and its potential for use in American industry cannot be minimized. We will continue to investigate the basics of polymerization kinetics of simple monofunctional monomers in bulk and solution, while placing special emphasis on laser-initiated of multifunctional/crosslinking monomers and polymerization of liquid-crystalline systems. In addition, we propose to investigate the laser-initiated of other polymerization types including templated systems, cationic-initiated polymerizations, and microemulsions in an effort to provide a fundamental kinetic analysis for these systems.
