New catalyst process uses light, not metal, for rapid polymerization

A new metal-free atom transfer radical polymerization process using an organic-based photocatalyst and light has been developed by researchers at UC Santa Barbara. This process overcomes the use of heavy metal catalysts like copper, which is a major roadblock in applications such as biomedical purposes.
