Abstract
Pre-ceramic monomer formulations for creating self-propagating polymer waveguides, and a system and method of using the same, is disclosed. The formulation includes a plurality of unsaturated molecules, wherein the unsaturated molecules contain a significant amount of non-carbon atoms, a molecule having structure of R'—X1-H (e.g., X1=O, S, N), and a photoinitiator. R′ can also have non-carbon atoms. The system includes a light source, a reservoir having a monomer formulation and a patterning apparatus configured to guide a light beam from the light source into the pre-ceramic monomer formulation to form at least one self-propagating polymer waveguide and can be directly converted to interconnected three-dimensional ceramics.
