description Photosensitive resin is a kind of polymer gel material. Due to its excellent UV curing performance, it is widely used in the emerging 3D printing industry. This article combines terahertz technology with microfluidic chip technology to study the terahertz spectral characteristics of liquid and solid photosensitive resins under different electric fields. In the experiment, it was found that an electric field can also cause polymerization of photosensitive resin monomers to form cross-linked polymers, increasing their curing degree. For solid photosensitive resins, the orientation of polymer molecules is enhanced under an electric field, and the molecular arrangement changes from a disordered state to an ordered state. Meanwhile, it was found that both liquid and solid photosensitive resins subjected to electric fields exhibit absorption coefficients below zero within a very small frequency range. We explain this from two aspects: energy and the Fabry Pérot effect. This article uses terahertz spectra to study the curing and structural changes in photosensitive resins under an electric field, laying a foundation for further improving 3D printing technology.
