Latest Patents

Kiel’s listed patents explore ways to control the hardening of resin through exposure to light at different wavelengths.

“Photohardenable Compositions and Methods of Forming an Object” describes compositions combining a photohardenable resin with multiple photoinitiators. One initiator responds to light at either of two wavelengths, while another responds to a third, shorter wavelength. The disclosure also discusses photoswitchable photoinitiators and methods for forming objects with these compositions.

“Methods of Forming an Object in a Volume of a Photohardenable Composition, Photohardenable Compositions, and Photoinitiators” concerns forming objects within a volume of photohardenable material using a photoswitchable photoinitiator that includes a P-type photochromic molecule. The patent also describes P-type diarylethene molecules and compositions and methods that use these initiators.
