Experimental Protocol: Resonant Two-Photon Synthesis of 1D Furan Nanothreads (FNT) from Hemp-Derived Precursors
Abstract
To verify the hypothesis that Two-Photon Absorption (TPA) at λ = 450 nm can initiate the polymerization of hemp-derived furan into ordered crystalline nanothreads at a reduced static pressure of 5 GPa. This protocol seeks to identify the [4 + 4] cycloaddition 'seed' formation through non-linear photonic excitation.
