Description

Technical Field

[0002] Photosensitizers are molecules that, upon photoexcitation, transition from the ground state to the singlet state, generating a photoactive species or inducing a co-initiator to generate an active species, thereby initiating monomer polymerization. In recent years, the initiation of photopolymerization under low-intensity and visible light conditions has been a highly active area of research. Currently, most commercially available photosensitizers are UV-absorbing. However, UV light is detrimental to human health and can easily cause conditions like skin cancer. Furthermore, UV irradiation equipment is expensive and has limited UV penetration. Reports of long-wavelength photosensitizers, particularly those that absorb red light, are limited, and most suffer from structural complexity, difficulty in synthesis, high cost, and biotoxicity. Therefore, the synthesis of commercially viable, simple-structured, long-wavelength visible light photosensitizers is of profound significance for advancing scientific and technological development. In recent years, photopolymerization has shown broad application prospects in various fields, such as 3D printing, manufacturing, and healthcare, due to its advantages of high speed, high precision, and environmental friendliness.

[0094] C=O(1760 ) is the internal standard, and the center position of the C=C stretching vibration absorption peak is 1630 The change of , determines the change of dual-band conversion (DC) over time. The calculation formula is as follows:

[0095]

[0096] Where A0, A t are the ratios of the relative absorption band areas before photopolymerization and at photopolymerization time t, respectively.
