The resins were characterized in terms of viscosity, surface tension, and refractive index. Optical bulk components were prepared with both printing techniques and compared regarding their surface roughness and optical scattering. The haze of DLP-samples can be avoided by inkjet 3D printing. Moreover, different quantum dots (QD) could be incorporated into resins; DLP resulted in complex 3D assemblies.enBulk materialsDLPInk-jetInorganic-organic hybrid polymerOptical componentsPrintingSol-GelDDC::500 Naturwissenschaften und Mathematik::500 NaturwissenschaftenInorganic-organic hybrid polymers for printing of optical componentsjournal article
