Abstract
A polymerizable liquid that can be used for producing three-dimensional objects by methods of additive manufacturing is disclosed. The polymerizable liquid may comprise: (a) a blocked or reactively blocked polyurethane prepolymer; (b) (optional) a reactive diluent; (c) a blocked or reactively blocked curing agent; (d) a photoinitiator; and (e) (optional) a blocked or reactively blocked diisocyanate. The method using such polymerizable liquid to form three-dimensional objects is also described.

- exposing said printing region filled with the polymerizable liquid to energy to form a solid printing intermediate having substantially a same shape as said three-dimensional object;
- providing energy to said solid printing intermediate to form said three-dimensional object;
- wherein said blocked or reactively blocked curing agent has a structure of Formula (A1), Formula (A2), Formula (A3), Formula (A4), Formula (A5), or Formula (A6):
- wherein each of R1, R2, and R3 includes a linear or branched C1-C36 alkyl, a linear or branched C1-C36 alkylene, an alkenyl, an alkenylene, an aryl, an arylene, a heteroaryl, a heteroarylene, a cycloalkyl, or cycloalkenyl;
- each of R4, R5 and R6 includes an amino-dialkyl, a C3-C36 aryl, an arylene, a cycloalkyl, or a cycloalkenyl;
- each of Y1 and Y2 includes a protecting group that protects amino groups or hydroxyl groups;
- each of at least one of said Y1 or said Y2 of the Formula (A1), the Formula (A2), or the Formula (A3) further comprises a photopolymerizable group;
