Abstract
A method and a system for producing a change in a medium disposed in an artificial container. The method places inavicinity of the medium at least one of a plasmonics agent and an energy modulation agent. The method applies an initiation energy through the artificial container to the medium. The initiation energy interacts with the plasmonics agent or the energy modulation agent to directly or indirectly produce the change in the medium. The system includes an initiation energy source configured to apply an initiation energy to the medium to activate the plasmonics agent or the energy modulation agent.

A radiation-cured article, comprising:
- a radiation-cured medium;
- and
- at least one of an energy modulation agent and a plasmonics agent distributed throughout the medium;
- said energy modulation agent being a substance which converted an initiation energy to a light which cured the radiation-cured medium by polymerization of polymers in the radiation-cured medium.
A radiation-curable article, comprising:
- a radiation-curable medium;
- and
- at least one energy modulation agent and at least one plasmonics agent distributed throughout the medium;
- said energy modulation agent being a substance which is capable of converting initiation energy to a light capable of curing the radiation-curable medium by polymerization of polymers in the radiation-curable medium.
