Abstract

A method and a device are disclosed which show how a shrinkable material such as a prepolymer material can be formed in situ without defects and with no internal stresses. The method and the device cover both in situ polymerization and devolatilization or coagulation of a liquefied polymer in a solvent. The method and the device use a differential exposure of the prepolymer material to the solidifier.
