About the RadTech Research Network

The RadTech Research Network is a living knowledge resource maintained by RadTech International, the trade association for UV and Electron Beam (EB) Technology. Our mission is to accelerate innovation in photopolymer science by connecting academic researchers, industry partners, and funding organizations.

The network currently catalogs 105 US-based researchers across 71 institutions working on UV and EB curing technology, photopolymerization, coatings, adhesives, additive manufacturing, biomaterials, and related fields. We are expanding to include global coverage.

This platform is designed to serve the entire UV+EB innovation ecosystem from graduate students exploring research opportunities, to program officers at federal agencies looking to align investments, to industry engineers seeking academic collaborators for specific technical challenges.

The AI assistant embedded throughout the platform is powered by Claude (Anthropic) and is trained on the researcher database, funding landscape, and research priority framework to provide intelligent, specific connections.

RadTech International hosts the premier UV+EB Technology Conference & Expo, publishes industry resources, and advocates for the industry. Visit radtech.org →
