  • Patent number: 12319768
    Abstract: A dark-colored system photopolymerization composition, comprising: 20-80 phr of photopolymerizable prepolymer, 5-60 phr of photopolymerizable monomer, 0.2-8 phr of photoinitiator, and 0.1-5 phr of melanin, 0.05-5 phr of upconversion materials. The composition can construct photopolymerization under near-infrared irradiation. The dark pigment can avoid the strong absorption of near-infrared light, and the upconversion material can absorb near-infrared light with good penetrating ability and emit ultraviolet or visible light to induce the decomposition of free radicals or ionic photoinitiators in the composition. Then produced active species realize the photopolymerization of dark-colored compositions. The invention increases the depth of photopolymerization of dark-colored compositions and improves the mechanical properties of the polymer, that will broaden application fields of photopolymerization materials.
