a polymeric material that is sensitive to light: used in printing plates, microfilms, etc
photopolymer in American English
(ˌfoutouˈpɑləmər)
noun
Chemistry
a polymer or plastic that undergoes a change in physical or chemical properties when exposed to light
Word origin
[photo- + polymer]photo- is a combining form meaning “light” (photobiology); also used to represent “photographic” or “photograph” in the formation of compoundwords. Other words that use the affix photo- include: photochronograph, photocoagulation, photogen, photogravure, photomultiplier
