3D–printing AIE stereolithography resins with real−time monitored printing process to fabricate fluorescent objects

Two types of aggregation−induced emission (AIE) stereolithography resins have been prepared. The AIE thermoset photocurable resin is made by covalently crosslinking of tetrakis (4–aminophenyl) ethene, bisphenol F epoxy resin (BPF) and methylacrylic acid (MAA). However, the AIE thermoplastic photocurable resin with “OFF–ON” fluorescence response is prepared by doping the AIE luminogens to the polymers rather than covalently crosslinking. The 3D...
