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.

Disclosed are embodiments of 3D printing compositions that incorporate light scattering and wavelength-shifting metal nanoparticles, and systems and methods of using the 3D printing compositions. In some embodiments, the 3D printing compositions containing metal nanoparticles cure faster upon exposure to UV radiation. In some embodiments, the 3D printing compositions containing metal nanoparticles scatter incoming UV light throughout printed layers of the 3D printing compositions. It is proposed that metal nanoparticles produced by high energy methods possessing smooth spherical morphology and narrow size distributions can be integrated into 3D printing compositions to mitigate the risk of over-curing due to the light-scattering and/or down-shifting effect of the nanoparticles. A method for adding the nanomaterials to the 3D printing compositions in a non-interruptive process is also disclosed.
