The photopolymerization processes are currently associated with thin samples for which the
light penetration is good enough to activate the photoinitiator or the photoinitiating system for …

Photoinitiators of polymerization that can be activated under visible light and low intensity
are actively researched as these compounds constitute the next generation of photoinitiators …

Photopolymerization under near-infrared (NIR) light is challenging due to the low energy of
the absorbed photon but, if successful, presents significant advantages. For example, this …

Sustainable carbon dots (CDs) based on furfuraldehyde (F‐CD) resulted in a photosensitive
material after pursuing the Alder‐Longo reaction. The porphyrin moiety formed connects the …

NIR‐sensitized photoinduced atom‐transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) is possible by
using ppm of CuII/tris (2‐pyridylmethyl) amine (TPMA) as the catalyst, a polymethine as the …

A near‐infrared‐absorbing heptamethine (HM+) incorporating three bulky benzo [cd] indole
heterocycles was designed to efficiently prevent self‐aggregation of the dye, which results in …

Light‐driven 3D printing is gaining significant attention for its unparalleled build speed and
high‐resolution in additive manufacturing. However, extending vat photopolymerization to …

Over the past few decades, molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) have become extremely
attractive materials for biomimetic molecular recognition due to their excellent affinity and …

Carbon nanodots (CDs) originating from different biomass result in different activities to
sensitize photo‐ATRP and photo‐CuAAC reaction protocols with visible light. Free radical …

Free radical polymerization upon near‐infrared (NIR) light is still the subject of intense
research efforts and remains a huge challenge particularly for long wavelengths (> 1000 …
