Abstract
Photopolymerizable materials are commonly used in the industry for a long time, being extended their use in adhesives, coatings, paint and printing ink industries, composite materials, or even in the food industry. Their use in biomedical industry was until recently quite limited to acrylic derivatives used for dental restauration. However, the increase of the biocompatible monomers and initiators added to the widespread use of the 3D printing or the evolution of the two-photon photopolymerization has renew the interest on this methodology for the fabrication of biomaterials. In this review, the main photopolymerization processes from the conventional methods to more demanding methods such as two-photon polymerization are summarized, and the main applications of biomaterials obtained from photopolymerization have been reviewed.
