Abstract

A liquid resin composition comprising: a first proportion of acryloyl morpholine monomers; a second proportion of a photoinitiator exhibiting photodissociation into reactive subspecies responsive to selective exposure to radiation within a spectrum, the reactive subspecies polymerizing the first proportion of acryloyl morpholine; a third proportion of a radiation blocker absorbing radiation within the spectrum to limit penetration depth of incident radiation within the spectrum in the liquid resin; a fourth proportion of a polymerization inhibitor limiting an average chain length of acryloyl morpholine polymer polymerized from the first proportion of acryloyl morpholine monomers; and a fifth proportion of a temperature-stabilizer increasing the heat-deflection temperature of acryloyl morpholine polymer polymerized from the first proportion of acryloyl morpholine monomers.

Claims (19)

1. A liquid resin composition comprising:

a first proportion of acryloyl morpholine monomers;

a second proportion of a photoinitiator exhibiting photodissociation into reactive subspecies responsive to selective exposure to radiation within a spectrum, the reactive subspecies polymerizing the first proportion of acryloyl morpholine monomers into selective subvolumes forming a rigid shell that is injectable with an injection material and water-soluble;

a third proportion of a radiation blocker absorbing radiation within the spectrum to limit penetration depth of incident radiation within the spectrum in the liquid resin;

a fourth proportion of a polymerization inhibitor limiting an average chain length of acryloyl morpholine polymer polymerized from the first proportion of acryloyl morpholine monomers; and

a fifth proportion of a temperature-stabilizer increasing the heat-deflection temperature of acryloyl morpholine polymer polymerized from the first proportion of acryloyl morpholine monomers.

2. The liquid resin composition of claim 1 , wherein the temperature stabilizer increases the heat-deflection temperature of the shell to maintain rigidity of the shell during exothermic curing of the injection material.

3. The liquid resin composition of claim 1 , wherein the polymerization inhibitor limits an average chain length of acryloyl morpholine polymers in the shell to increase resilience of the shell to internal pressure during injection of the injection material.

4. The liquid resin composition of claim 1 , wherein the polymerization inhibitor limits an average chain length of acryloyl morpholine polymers in the shell to reduce steric bulk of the selective volume to increase water-solubility of the shell.

5. The liquid resin composition of claim 1 , wherein the photoinitiator comprises bis(2,4,6-trimethylbenzoyl)-phenylphosphineoxide and the second proportion is between 0.1% and 5%.

6. The liquid resin composition of claim 1 , wherein:

the polymerization inhibitor comprises butylated hydroxytoluene;

the fourth proportion is between 0.1% and 3%;

the temperature stabilizer comprises polyvinylpyrrolidone; and

the fifth proportion is between 2% and 20%.

7. The liquid resin composition of claim 6 , wherein the polyvinylpyrrolidone exhibits an average molecular weight of between 2,500 grams per mol and 360,000 grams per mol.

8. The liquid resin composition of claim 1 , wherein:

the radiation blocker absorbs radiation within the spectrum comprising wavelength between 405 nanometers and 450 nanometers; and

the third proportion of the radiation blocker limits the penetration depth of incident radiation within the spectrum to less than 0.15 millimeters in the liquid resin.
