The compositions of this invention are stable at room temperature for several days to several months and undergo mass polymerization only when subjected to suitable actinic radiation. The monomers employed therein have a range of optical and mechanical properties, and thus these compositions can be tailored to form films having various opto-electronic properties. More specifically, the compositions of this invention undergo much faster mass polymerization and exhibit superior thermo-mechanical properties when compared with the compositions containing only the olefinic monomers.

Abstract

Embodiments in accordance with the present invention encompass a composition containing a latent catalyst and a compound capable of generating a Bronsted acid with a counterion capable of coordinating and activating the latent catalyst along with one or more monomers which undergo ring open metathesis polymerization (ROMP) and one or more multi-functional crosslinkable molecules when said composition is exposed to a suitable radiation forms a three-dimensional (3D) object. The catalyst system employed therein can be sensitive to oxygen and thus inhibits polymerization in ambient atmospheric conditions. The three-dimensional objects made by this process exhibits improved mechanical properties, particularly, high distortion temperature, impact strength, elongation to break, among others. Accordingly, compositions of this invention are useful as 3D inkjet materials for forming high impact strength objects of various sizes with microscale features lower than 100 microns, among various other uses.

Abstract

Embodiments in accordance with the present invention encompass compositions encompassing components A and B which respectively contain a procatalyst and an activator along with one or more monomers which undergo vinyl addition polymerization when both components are mixed together to form a substantially transparent film. The monomers employed therein have a range of refractive index from 1.4 to 1.8 and thus these compositions can be tailored to form transparent films of varied refractive indices. Accordingly, compositions of this invention are useful in various opto-electronic applications, including as coatings, encapsulants, fillers, leveling agents, among others.
