[0002] The object of the present invention was to provide a polymerizable composition suitable for the production of three-dimensional articles obtained by a casting process, particularly for use in stereolithography, DLP, or multi-jet (MJM) or polyjet processes. Furthermore, the composition should also be suitable for the production of large blocks of material, especially geometrically shaped objects such as milled blocks. Furthermore, the polymerizable composition should have a good fracture toughness value, which represents a measure of the force required for crack propagation in the material. Additionally, it was an objective to provide a composition with a uniform, monochromatic coloration before and after polymerization. In this context, it should be possible to achieve a uniform, monochromatic coloration not only when producing small articles, but also in larger articles. Furthermore, it should be possible to produce multicolored, i.e., multicolored blocks of material with defined colorations, by a casting or casting process. Additionally, it is necessary to provide a composition that is free-flowing in the unpolymerized state and has excellent mechanical properties when polymerized by UV or VIS radiation. It is also necessary to provide a composition that exhibits low shrinkage in the polymerized state, even when producing larger blocks of material.

[0059] The fracture toughness of the composition to be measured is determined on test specimens having the dimensions W (according to ASTM 1820-13) and w (according to ISO 13586) = 10 mm, B (according to ASTM 1820-13) and h (according to ISO 13586:2000) = 5 mm (CT test specimens), using the ratios or proportions of the test specimen dimensions according to standards ASTM E1820-13 and ISO 13586.
[0060] First, a rectangular test piece with a thickness of 5 mm and a base area / deck area of 12.0 × 12.5 mm was prepared. Photocuring or photopolymerization was performed by irradiating five spots (projection surfaces) for 20 seconds each with blue light (Translux 2 Wave, KULZER GmbH).
[0061] A 1 mm rotary cutting tool is used to create a notch (approximately 0.55 W) centered and aligned perpendicular to the longitudinal edge. A hole drilled perpendicular to the base / deck area is drilled with a 2 mm diameter cutting tool positioned in the same location as that applied to the test specimens (ASTM 1820-13 and ISO 13583:2000) to accommodate a pin.
[0062] A razor blade is used to make a crack with a diameter of 8 μm or less at the top of the centrally located notch. The length of the crack (a i ) is measured by optical microscope before the measurement. The length of the crack that changes a i is measured under the influence of a specified mechanical force.

[0066] The specimen is then fixed to a universal testing machine (Zwick / Roell) using a metal pin guided through the hole. A specified tensile force (P) is then applied to the specimen through the pin at a rate of 1 mm / min until fracture. The tensile force (P), thickness (B), width (W), and crack length a i , fracture toughness K Ic is calculated according to the following formula:

The thermally cured samples in Table 3 were first irradiated with UV / Vis light for 1 × 60 seconds per side, followed by thermal curing (approximately 3 hours at 95°C).
