The molecular structure generally prevents the molecules from packing tightly and hence they tend to be lighter and less dense than many metals and ceramics. Halogenated - and particularly brominated polymers, are an exception.

What and how do light sensitive polymers work?

They are used in hospitals as stitches because they will desolve in light and there is no need for them to be taken out.


What are photo conductive polymers?

photoconductive polymers are materials that change their electrical conductivity when subject to light (infra red- visible - ultraviolet - gamma). They are mainly used in photocopiers and holography.

How are smart polymers used in light sensitive plasters?

Smart polymers in light-sensitive plasters can change their properties in response to light exposure. These polymers can be used in wound dressings or plasters that change color when exposed to UV light, indicating when the dressing needs to be changed. This allows for better monitoring of wounds and can help in preventing infection.


Why light sensitive polymers used in plasters?

Light sensitive polymers in plasters are used to provide a visual indication of when the plaster is fully cured. These polymers change color when exposed to a specific wavelength of light, allowing healthcare professionals to easily monitor the curing process of the plaster. This technology helps ensure that the plaster is fully cured before allowing the patient to use the affected limb.
