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.
Marie-Soleil Seshat Landry (Sun,) studied this question.
