title: Blue-light activated rapid polymerization for defect-free bulk Cu(i)-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC) crosslinked networks.
abstract: A visible-light (470 nm wavelength) sensitive Type II photoinitiator system is developed for bulk Cu(i)-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC) reactions in crosslinked networks. The accelerated photopolymerization eliminates UV-mediated azide decomposition allowing for the formation of defect-free glassy networks which exhibit a narrow glass transition temperature.
