Abstract

Refractive Index Matching Polysiloxanes can be printed by direct ink writing when they are mixed with the appropriate additives. However, these additives can affect optical transparency, which is a useful property of polysiloxanes. In article number 2100974, Michael J. Ford, Jeremy M. Lenhardt, and co-workers describe how refractive index matching can enable the printability of transparent siloxanes. These printed materials could be useful for optics, scintillators, and microfluidics.
