Novel D–π-A and A–π-D–π-A three-component photoinitiating systems based on carbazole/triphenylamino based chalcones and application in 3D and 4D printing

Abstract

A series of carbazole or triphenylamine based mono-chalcones, displaying either D–π-A or A–π-D–π-A architecture have been designed as photoinitiators for 3D and 4D printing.
