Articles and methods for increasing the triplet upconversion threshold, e.g, by utilizing a heavy atom- functionalized triplet exciton upconverter, are generally described. Some embodiments, for example, are directed to articles and methods that use a triplet sensitizer and a heavy atom- functionalized upconverter to produce upconverted photons (e.g., light of a second energy). The light may be used to polymerize a polymerizable species. Other upconversion configurations can also be used in other embodiments. In some cases, this may allow true 3D printing to be achieved due to improved control of light absorption, e.g., without needing to "print" on a layer- by-layer basis.
本文通常描述了增加三重态上转换阈值的方法和文章,例如利用重原子功能化的三重态激子上转换器。例如,某些实施例涉及使用三重态敏化剂和重原子功能化的上转换器来产生上转换光子(例如,第二种能量的光)。该光可以用于聚合可聚合物种。其他上转换配置也可以在其他实施例中使用。在某些情况下,这可能允许实现真正的3D打印,因为可以更好地控制光吸收,例如,无需按层进行“打印”。
