Abstract
Since the earliest investigations of olefin metathesis catalysis, light has been the choice for controlling the catalyst activity on demand. From the perspective of energy efficiency, temporal and spatial control, and selectivity, photochemistry is not only an attractive alternative to traditional thermal manufacturing techniques but also arguably a superior manifold for advanced applications like additive manufacturing (AM). In the last three decades, pioneering work in the field of ring-opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP) has broadened the scope of material properties achievable through AM, particularly using light as both an activating and deactivating stimulus. In this Perspective, we explore trends in photocontrolled ROMP systems with an emphasis on approaches to photoinduced activation and deactivation of metathesis catalysts. Recent work has yielded a myriad of commercial and synthetically accessible photosensitive catalyst systems, although comparatively little attention has been paid to achieving precise control over polymer morphology using light. Metal-free, photophysical, and living ROMP systems have also been relatively underexplored. To take fuller advantage of both the thermomechanical properties of ROMP polymers and the operational simplicity of photocontrol, clear directions for the field are to improve the reversibility of activation and deactivation strategies as well as to further develop photocontrolled approaches to tuning cross-link density and polymer tacticity.

Abstract
3D printing with light is enabled by the photochemistry underpinning it. Without fine control over the ability to photochemically gate covalent bond formation by the light at a certain wavelength and intensity, advanced photoresists with functions spanning from on-demand degradability, adaptability, rapid printing speeds, and tailored functionality are impossible to design. Herein, recent advances in photoresist design for light-driven 3D printing applications are critically assessed, and an outlook of the outstanding challenges and opportunities is provided. This is achieved by classing the discussed photoresists in chemistries that function photoinitiator-free and those that require a photoinitiator to proceed. Such a taxonomy is based on the efficiency with which photons are able to generate covalent bonds, with each concept featuring distinct advantages and drawbacks.

Abstract
Over the last years, the authors' laboratory has employed monochromatic tuneable laser systems to reveal a fundamental mismatch between the absorptivity of a chromophore and its photochemical reactivity for the vast majority of covalent bond forming reactions as well as specific bond cleavage reactions. In the general chemistry community, however, the long-held assumption pervades that effective photochemical reactions are obtained in situations where there is strong overlap between the absorption spectrum and the excitation wavelength. The current Perspective illustrates that the absorption spectrum of a molecule only provides information about electronic excitations and remains entirely silent on other energy redistribution mechanisms that follow, which critically influence photochemical reactivity. Future avenues of enquiry on how action plots can be understood are proposed and the importance of action plots for tailoring photochemical applications with never-before-seen precision is explored.

Abstract
The last few decades have witnessed significant progress in synthetic macromolecular chemistry, which can provide access to diverse macromolecules with varying structural complexities, topology and functionalities, bringing us closer to the aim of controlling soft matter material properties with molecular precision. To reach this goal, the development of advanced analytical techniques, allowing for micro-, molecular level and real-time investigation, is essential. Due to their appealing features, including high sensitivity, large contrast, fast and real-time response, as well as non-invasive characteristics, fluorescence-based techniques have emerged as a powerful tool for macromolecular characterisation to provide detailed information and give new and deep insights beyond those offered by commonly applied analytical methods. Herein, we critically examine how fluorescence phenomena, principles and techniques can be effectively exploited to characterise macromolecules and soft matter materials and to further unravel their constitution, by highlighting representative examples of recent advances across major areas of polymer and materials science, ranging from polymer molecular weight and conversion, architecture, conformation to polymer self-assembly to surfaces, gels and 3D printing. Finally, we discuss the opportunities for fluorescence-readout to further advance the development of macromolecules, leading to the design of polymers and soft matter materials with pre-determined and adaptable properties.

Abstract
Employing two colors of light to 3D print objects holds potential for accessing advanced printing modes, such as the generation of multi-material objects from a single print. Thus, dual-wavelength-driven photoreactive systems (reactions that require or utilize two wavelengths) and their exploitation as chemo-technological solutions for additive manufacturing technologies have experienced considerable development over the last few years. Such systems saw an increase in printing speeds, a decrease in resolution thresholds, and─perhaps most importantly─the actual generation of multi-material objects. However, the pace at which such reactive systems are developed is moderate and varies significantly depending on the fashion in which the two colors of light are employed. Herein, we address for the first time the varying logic conjugations of light-activated chemical compounds in dual-wavelength photochemical processes in a systematic manner and consider their implications from a photochemical point of view. To date, four dual-wavelength reaction types have been reported, termed synergistic (λ1 AND λ2), antagonistic (reversed λ1 AND λ2), orthogonal (λ1 OR λ2), and─most recently─cooperative (λ1 AND λ2 or λ1 OR λ2). The progress of their implementation in additive manufacturing is assessed individually, and their concurrent and individual chemical challenges are identified. These challenges need to be addressed for future dual-wavelength photochemical systems to progress multi-wavelength additive manufacturing technologies beyond their current limitations.

Abstract
We map the photochemical reactivity of two chromophores-a pyrene-chalcone and a methylene blue protected amine-from a one-pot reaction mixture based on their dynamic absorptivity changes upon light exposure, constructing a dual action plot. We employ the action plot data to determine a pathlength-independent λ-orthogonality window, allowing the orthogonal folding of distinct polymer chains into single chain nano-particles (SCNPs) from the same reaction mixture.

Abstract
Exploiting the optimum wavelength of reactivity for efficient photochemical reactions has been well-established based on the development of photochemical action plots. We herein demonstrate the power of such action plots by a remarkable example of the wavelength-resolved photochemistry of two triazolinedione (TAD) substrates, i.e., aliphatic and aromatic substituted, that exhibit near identical absorption spectra yet possess vastly disparate photoreactivity. We present our findings in carefully recorded action plots, from which reaction selectivity is identified. The profound difference in photoreactivity is exploited by designing a 'hybrid' bisfunctional TAD molecule, enabling the formation of a dual-gated reaction manifold that demonstrates the exceptional and site-selective (photo)chemical behavior of both TAD substrates within a single small molecule.

Abstract
Highly efficient chemical ligations that operate in water under mild conditions are the foundation of bioorthogonal chemistry. However, the toolbox of suitable reactions is limited. Conventional approaches to expand this toolbox aim at altering the inherent reactivity of functional groups to design new reactions that meet the required benchmarks. Inspired by controlled reaction environments that enzymes provide, we report a fundamentally different approach that makes inefficient reactions highly efficient within defined local environments. Contrasting enzymatically catalyzed reactions, the reactivity controlling self-assembled environment is brought about by the ligation targets themselves─avoiding the use of a catalyst. Targeting [2 + 2] photocycloadditions, which are inefficient at low concentrations and readily quenched by oxygen, short β-sheet encoded peptide sequences are inserted between a hydrophobic photoreactive styrylpyrene unit and a hydrophilic polymer. In water, electrostatic repulsion of deprotonated amino acid residues governs the formation of small self-assembled structures, which enable a highly efficient photoligation of the polymer, reaching ∼90% ligation within 2 min (0.034 mM). Upon protonation at low pH, the self-assembly changes into 1D fibers, altering photophysical properties and shutting down the photocycloaddition reaction. Using the reversible morphology change, it is possible to switch the photoligation "ON" or "OFF" under constant irradiation simply by varying the pH. Importantly, in dimethylformamide, the photoligation reaction did not occur even at 10-fold higher concentrations (0.34 mM). The self-assembly into a specific architecture, encoded into the polymer ligation target, enables a highly efficient ligation that overcomes the concentration limitations and high oxygen sensitivity of [2 + 2] photocycloadditions.

Abstract
A visible light absorbing anthraquinone derivative 1-tosyloxy-2-methoxy-9,10-anthraquinone (QT) mediates both cationic and radical polymerizations depending on the intensity of visible light used. A previous study showed that this initiator generates para-toluenesulfonic acid through a stepwise, two-photon excitation mechanism. Thus, under high-intensity irradiation, QT generates acid in sufficient quantities to catalyze the cationic ring-opening polymerization of lactones. However, under low-intensity (lamp) conditions, the two-photon process is negligible, and QT photooxidizes DMSO, generating methyl radicals which initiate the RAFT polymerization of acrylates. This dual capability was utilized to switch between radical and cationic polymerizations to synthesize a copolymer using a one-pot procedure.

Abstract
Orthogonal photoreactions provide a unique way to locally and independently control (thermo)mechanical properties and functionality of polymer networks simply by choice of the wavelength. Herein, a library of acrylate functional coumarin monomers is synthesized, which are cured by sequence-dependent wavelength orthogonality. In the presence of a long wavelength absorbing photoinitiator, the monomers undergo rapid curing by visible light induced radical chain growth polymerization. Subsequent irradiation with light in the UV-A region selectively initiates the [2+2] photocycloaddition of the coumarin chromophores, which is confirmed by FTIR and UV-vis experiments. Through a well-targeted design, acrylate-based and thiol-acrylate resin formulations are prepared, whose fast curing rate, low viscosity, and prolonged storage stability enable the one-step fabrication of multi-material structures by digital light processing (DLP) 3D printing. By using a dual-wavelength printer, which operates at two different wavelengths (405 and 365 nm), objects comprising soft (ε = 22%, σ = 7.5 MPa) and stiff (ε = 2%, σ = 8.3 MPa) domains are printed with a single resin vat. Along with tensile properties, the wavelength selective change in the network structure features a local control of the glass transition temperature (ΔTg = 17 °C) in the 3D-printed objects. Soft active devices are fabricated by dual-wavelength DLP 3D printing, with distinct domains having a higher Tg and the local programming of multi shapes is demonstrated.

Abstract
The formation of benign polymer scaffolds in water using green-light-reactive photocages is described. These efforts pave an avenue toward the fabrication of synthetic scaffolds that can facilitate the study of cellular events for disease diagnosis and treatment. First, a series of boron dipyrromethene (BODIPY) photocages with nitrogen-containing nucleophiles were examined to determine structure-reactivity relationships, which resulted in a >1,000× increase in uncaging yield. Subsequently, photoinduced hydrogel formation in 90 wt % water was accomplished via biorthogonal carbonyl condensation using hydrophilic polymer scaffolds separately containing BODIPY photocages and ortho-phthalaldehyde (OPA) moieties. Spatiotemporal control is demonstrated with light on/off experiments to modulate gel stiffness and masking to provide <100 μm features. Biocompatability of the method was shown through pre-/post-crosslinking cell viability studies. Short term, these studies are anticipated to guide translation to emergent additive manufacturing technology, which, longer term, will enable the development of 3D cell cultures for tissue engineering applications.

Abstract
The control of materials' microstructure is both a necessity and an opportunity for micro/nanometer-scale additive manufacturing technologies. On the one hand, optimization of purity and defect density of printed metals is a prerequisite for their application in microfabrication. On the other hand, the additive approach to materials deposition with highest spatial resolution offers unique opportunities for the fabrication of materials with complex, 3D graded composition or microstructure. As a first step toward both-optimization of properties and site-specific tuning of microstructure-an overview of the wide range of microstructure accessed in pure copper (up to >99.9 at.%) by electrohydrodynamic redox 3D printing is presented, and on-the-fly modulation of grain size in copper with smallest segments ≈400 nm in length is shown. Control of microstructure and materials properties by in situ adjustment of the printing voltage is demonstrated by variation of grain size by one order of magnitude and corresponding compression strength by a factor of two. Based on transmission electron microscopy and atom probe tomography, it is suggested that the small grain size is a direct consequence of intermittent solvent drying at the growth interface at low printing voltages, while larger grains are enabled by the permanent presence of solvent at higher potentials.

Abstract
An organized combination of stiff and elastic domains within a single material can synergistically tailor bulk mechanical properties. However, synthetic methods to achieve such sophisticated architectures remain elusive. We report a rapid, facile, and environmentally benign method to pattern strong and stiff semicrystalline phases within soft and elastic matrices using stereo-controlled ring-opening metathesis polymerization of an industrial monomer, cis-cyclooctene. Dual polymerization catalysis dictates polyolefin backbone chemistry, which enables patterning of compositionally uniform materials with seamless stiff and elastic interfaces. Visible light-induced activation of a metathesis catalyst results in the formation of semicrystalline trans polyoctenamer rubber, outcompeting the formation of cis polyoctenamer rubber, which occurs at room temperature. This bottom-up approach provides a method for manufacturing polymeric materials with promising applications in soft optoelectronics and robotics.

Abstract
Additive manufacturing or 3D printing of materials is a prominent process technology which involves the fabrication of materials layer-by-layer or point-by-point in a subsequent manner. With recent advancements in additive manufacturing, the technology has excited a great potential for extension of simple designs to complex multi-material geometries. Vat photopolymerization is a subdivision of additive manufacturing which possesses many attractive features, including excellent printing resolution, high dimensional accuracy, low-cost manufacturing, and the ability to spatially control the material properties. However, the technology is currently limited by design strategies, material chemistries, and equipment limitations. This review aims to provide readers with a comprehensive comparison of different additive manufacturing technologies along with detailed knowledge on advances in multi-material vat photopolymerization technologies. Furthermore, we describe popular material chemistries both from the past and more recently, along with future prospects to address the material-related limitations of vat photopolymerization. Examples of the impressive multi-material capabilities inspired by nature which are applicable today in multiple areas of life are briefly presented in the applications section. Finally, we describe our point of view on the future prospects of 3D printed multi-material structures as well as on the way forward towards promising further advancements in vat photopolymerization.

Abstract
The ability of light to remotely control the properties of soft matter materials in a dynamic fashion has fascinated material scientists and photochemists for decades. However, only recently has our ability to map photochemical reactivity in a finely wavelength resolved fashion allowed for different colors of light to independently control the material properties of polymer networks with high precision, driven by monochromatic irradiation enabling orthogonal reaction control. The current concept article highlights the progress in visible light‐induced photochemistry and explores how it has enabled the design of polymer networks with dynamically adjustable properties. We will explore current applications ranging from dynamic hydrogel design to the light‐driven adaptation of 3D printed structures on the macro‐ and micro‐scale. While the alternation of mechanical properties via remote control is largely reality for soft matter materials, we herein propose the next frontiers for adaptive properties, including remote switching between conductive and non‐conductive properties, hydrophobic and hydrophilic surfaces, fluorescent or non‐fluorescent, and cell adhesive vs. cell repellent properties.

Abstract
We explore a cross-linked polymer network based on a visible light photodynamic [2 + 2] cycloaddition driven by styrylpyrene chemistry. Based on a polymer backbone with pendent styrylpyrene units, the network can be formed by using λ = 450 nm irradiation. Upon irradiation with λ = 340 nm, a photostationary state is generated within the network with ∼17% of the styrylpyrene units open compared to close to 2% in the visible light cured state. The limited fraction of open [2 + 2] couples is caused by their proximity and is in sharp contrast to solution experiments on the photoreactive moiety. Thus, the polymer network retains its mechanical properties even at the photostationary point. We hypothesize that the application of an additional stimulus could serve as a second gate for inducing network disintegration by spacing the [2 + 2] units during ultraviolet irradiation.

Abstract
Light-tunable covalent chemistry is highly urgent in the fields of chemistry, biology and material especially for the smart materials and surface, due to the spatiotemporal control and feasible operation. Here, we report a new type of wavelength-selective photo-cycloaddition of styryl-anthracene carboxylic acid (SACA). Upon the irradiation of 450 nm visible light or 365 nm UV light, SACA can undergo [2+2] or [2+4] photocycloaddition, respectively. Furthermore, the [2+2] photocycloaddition induced by vis-light of 450 nm is reversible and can be disrupted by 365 nm UV light to form dimer-24 which cannot be photo-cleavable. Owing to the feasibility and spatiotemporal characteristics of UV-Vis light-controlled photocycloaddition, the SACA possesses potential applications in various areas such as self-assembly, dynamic wrinkle and fluorescence patterns, which is also explored and exhibited in this work.

Abstract
The careful mapping of photoinduced reversible-deactivation radical polymerizations (RDRP) is a prerequisite for their applications in soft matter materials design. Here, we probe the wavelength-dependent behavior of photochemically induced atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) using nanosecond pulsed-laser polymerization (PLP). The photochemical reactivities at identical photon fluxes of methyl acrylate in terms of conversion, number-average molecular weight, and dispersity of the resulting polymers are mapped against the absorption spectrum of the copper(II) catalyst in the range of 305-550 nm. We observe a red shift of the action spectrum relative to the absorption spectrum of the copper(II) catalyst. Both the number-average molecular weight and the dispersity show a wavelength dependence, while the molecular weight and conversion remain linearly correlated. The reported data allow the judicious selection of optimum wavelengths for photoATRP.

Abstract
We exploit two reactive chromophores to establish sequence-independent photochemical activation, employing ortho-methyl benzaldehyde (oMBA) and N,N-(dimethylamino)pyrene aryl tetrazole (APAT) with N-(2-hydroxy)ethyl maleimide (NHEM), without any additives. Critically, the order of the irradiation sequence is irrelevant, as the shorter wavelength does not activate the higher wavelength activated species. Therefore, full sequence-independent λ-orthogonality is achieved through differences in both the reaction quantum yields (Φ r,oMBA and Φ r,APAT) and wavelength-dependent reactivity profiles of the employed chromophores.

Abstract
Predicting wavelength-dependent photochemical reactivity is challenging. Herein, we revive the well-established tool of measuring action spectra and adapt the technique to map wavelength-resolved covalent bond formation and cleavage in what we term "photochemical action plots". Underpinned by tunable lasers, which allow excitation of molecules with near-perfect wavelength precision, the photoinduced reactivity of several reaction classes have been mapped in detail. These include photoinduced cycloadditions and bond formation based on photochemically generated o-quinodimethanes and 1,3-dipoles such as nitrile imines as well as radical photoinitiator cleavage. Organized by reaction class, these data demonstrate that UV/vis spectra fail to act as a predictor for photochemical reactivity at a given wavelength in most of the examined reactions, with the photochemical reactivity being strongly red shifted in comparison to the absorption spectrum. We provide an encompassing perspective of the power of photochemical action plots for bond-forming reactions and their emerging applications in the design of wavelength-selective photoresists and photoresponsive soft-matter materials.

Abstract
The ability to fabricate polymeric materials with spatially controlled physical properties has been a challenge in thermoset manufacturing. To address this challenge, this work takes advantage of a photoswitchable polymerization that selectively incorporates different monomers at a growing chain by converting from cationic to radical polymerizations through modulation of the wavelength of irradiation. By regulating the dosage and wavelength of light applied to the system, the mechanical properties of the crosslinked material can be temporally and spatially tuned. Furthermore, photopatterning can be achieved both on the macroscale and the microscale, enabling precise spatial control of crosslink density that results in high-resolution control over mechanical properties.

Abstract
With 3D printing, the desire is to be "limited only by imagination," and although remarkable advancements have been made in recent years, the scope of printable materials remains narrow compared to other forms of manufacturing. Light-driven polymerization methods for 3D printing are particularly attractive due to unparalleled speed and resolution, yet the reliance on high-energy UV/violet light in contemporary processes limits the number of compatible materials due to pervasive absorption, scattering, and degradation at these short wavelengths. Such issues can be addressed with visible-light photopolymerizations. However, these lower-energy methods often suffer from slow reaction times and sensitivity to oxygen, precluding their utility in 3D printing processes that require rapid hardening (curing) to maximize build speed and resolution. Herein, multifunctional thiols are identified as simple additives to enable rapid high-resolution visible-light 3D printing under ambient (atmospheric O2 ) conditions that rival modern UV/violet-based technology. The present process is universal, providing access to commercially relevant acrylic resins with a range of disparate mechanical responses from strong and stiff to soft and extensible. Pushing forward, the insight presented within this study will inform the development of next-generation 3D-printing materials, such as multicomponent hydrogels and composites.

Abstract
Photoresponsive hydrogels hold key potential in advanced biomedical applications including tissue engineering, regenerative medicine, and drug delivery, as well as intricately engineered functions such as biosensing, soft robotics, and bioelectronics. Herein, the wavelength-dependent degradation of bio-orthogonal poly(ethylene glycol) hydrogels is reported, using three selective activation levels. Specifically, three chromophores are exploited, that is, ortho-nitrobenzene, dimethyl aminobenzene, and bimane, each absorbing light at different wavelengths. By examining their photochemical action plots, the wavelength-dependent reactivity of the photocleavable moieties is determined. The wavelength-selective addressability of individual photoreactive units is subsequently translated into hydrogel design, enabling wavelength-dependent cleavage of the hydrogel networks on-demand. Critically, this platform technology allows for the fabrication of various hydrogels, whose mechanical properties can be fine-tuned using different colors of light to reach a predefined value, according to the chromophore ratios used. The softening is shown to influence the spreading of pre-osteoblastic cells adhering to the gels as a demonstration of their potential utility. Furthermore, the materials and photodegradation processes are non-toxic to cells, making this platform attractive for biomaterials engineering.

Abstract
We introduce a highly efficient ligation system based on a visible light-induced rearrangement affording a thiophenol which rapidly undergoes thiol-Michael additions. Unlike conventional light-triggered thiol-ene/yne systems, which rely on the use of photocaged bases/nucleophiles, (organo)-photo catalysts, or radical photoinitiators, our system provides a light-induced reaction in the absence of any additives. The ligation is self-catalyzed via the pyridine mediated deprotonation of the photochemically generated thiophenol. Subsequently, the thiol-Michael reaction between the thiophenol anion and electron deficient alkynes/alkenes proceeds additive-free. Hereby, the underlying photoinduced rearrangement of o-thiopyrinidylbenzaldehyde (oTPyB) generating the free thiol is described for the first time. We studied the influence of various reactions conditions as well as solvents and substrates. We exemplify our findings in a polymer end group modification and obtained macromolecules with excellent end group fidelity.

Abstract
We report on the wavelength-selective photopolymerization of a hybrid acrylate-oxetane cholesteric liquid crystal monomer mixture. By controlling the sequence and rate of the orthogonal free-radical and cationic photopolymerization reactions, it is possible to control the degree of phase separation in the resulting liquid crystal interpenetrating networks. We show that this can be used to tune the reflective color of the structurally colored coatings produced. Conversely, the structural color can be used to monitor the degree of phase separation. Our new photopolymerization procedure allows for structuring liquid crystal networks in three dimensions, which has great potential for fabricating liquid crystal polymer materials with programmable functional properties.

Abstract
The control of chemical functionalization with orthogonal light stimuli paves the way toward manipulating materials with unprecedented spatiotemporal resolution. To reach this goal, we herein introduce a photochemical reaction system that enables two-color control of covalent ligation via an oxo-Diels-Alder cycloaddition between two separate light-responsive molecular entities: a UV-activated photocaged diene based on ortho-quinodimethanes and a carbonyl dienophile appended to a diarylethene photoswitch, whose reactivity can be modulated upon illumination with UV and visible light.

Abstract
Herein, we introduce a comprehensive methodology to map the reactivity of photochemical systems on surfaces. The reactivity of photoreactive groups in solution often departs from their corresponding solution absorption spectra. On surfaces, the relationship between the surface absorption spectra and reactivity remains unexplored. Thus, herein, the reactivity of an o-methylbenzaldehyde and a tetrazole, as ligation partners for maleimide functionalized polymers, was investigated when the reactive moieties are tethered to a surface. The ligation reaction of tetrazole functionalized surfaces was found to proceed rapidly leading to high grafting densities, while o-methylbenzaldehyde functionalized substrates required longer irradiation times and resulted in lower surface coverage at the same wavelength (330 nm). Critically, wavelength resolved reactivity profiles were found to closely match the surface absorption spectra, contrary to previously reported red shifts in solution for the same chromophores.

Abstract
We report a photochemical reaction system which requires activation by two colors of light. Specifically, a dual wavelength gated system is established by fusing the visible light mediated deprotection of a dithioacetal with the UV light activated Diels–Alder reaction of an o‐methylbenzaldehyde with n‐ethylmaleimide. Critically, both light sources are required to achieve the Diels–Alder adduct, irradiation with visible or UV light alone does not lead to the target product. The introduced dual gated photochemical system is particularly interesting for application in light driven 3D printing, where two color wavelength activated photoresists may become reality.

Abstract
A dual-wavelength photopolymerization process is presented, allowing for the volumetric fabrication of complex geometries using a multistep process. The methacrylate-based resin contained 0.1 wt % camphorquinone/0.1 wt % ethyl 4-(dimethylamino) benzoate and 0.2 wt % bis[2-(ochlorophenyl)-4,5-diphenylimidazole] as photoinitiator (473 nm) and photoinhibitor (365 nm), respectively. The photoinitiator and photoinhibitor concentrations were optimized to allow for photocuring to full depth (4.6 mm) following an exposure time of 2 min solely by 473 nm light, but no curing occurred when 365 nm light was present due to photoinhibition. This resin was validated using one-step volumetric fabrication of two objects containing voids defined by the 365 nm irradiation region. Two more complex structures were printed in a step-by-step manner, relying on the dynamic control of the projection patterns of both 365 and 473 nm projectors, decreasing the print time from 20 min using a commercially available single wavelength resin printer to 2 min.

Abstract
Light-driven 3D printing to convert liquid resins into solid objects (i.e., photocuring) has traditionally been dominated by engineering disciplines, yielding the fastest build speeds and highest resolution of any additive manufacturing process. However, the reliance on high-energy UV/violet light limits the materials scope due to degradation and attenuation (e.g., absorption and/or scattering). Chemical innovation to shift the spectrum into more mild and tunable visible wavelengths promises to improve compatibility and expand the repertoire of accessible objects, including those containing biological compounds, nanocomposites, and multimaterial structures. Photochemistry at these longer wavelengths currently suffers from slow reaction times precluding its utility. Herein, novel panchromatic photopolymer resins were developed and applied for the first time to realize rapid high-resolution visible light 3D printing. The combination of electron-deficient and electron-rich coinitiators was critical to overcoming the speed-limited photocuring with visible light. Furthermore, azo-dyes were identified as vital resin components to confine curing to irradiation zones, improving spatial resolution. A unique screening method was used to streamline optimization (e.g., exposure time and azo-dye loading) and correlate resin composition to resolution, cure rate, and mechanical performance. Ultimately, a versatile and general visible-light-based printing method was shown to afford (1) stiff and soft objects with feature sizes <100 μm, (2) build speeds up to 45 mm/h, and (3) mechanical isotropy, rivaling modern UV-based 3D printing technology and providing a foundation from which bio- and composite-printing can emerge.

Abstract
Photochemical reactions are a powerful tool in (bio)materials design due to the spatial and temporal control light can provide. To extend their applications in biological setting, the use of low-energy, long wavelength light with high penetration propertiesis required. Further regulation of the photochemical process by additional stimuli, such as pH, will open the door for construction of highly regulated systems in nanotechnology- and biology-driven applications. Here we report the green light induced [2+2] cycloaddition of a halochromic system based on a styrylquinoxaline moiety, which allows for its photo-reactivity to be switched on and off by adjusting the pH of the system. Critically, the [2+2] photocycloaddition can be activated by green light (λ up to 550 nm), which is the longest wavelength employed to date in catalyst-free photocycloadditions in solution. Importantly, the pH-dependence of the photo-reactivity was mapped by constant photon action plots. The action plots further indicate that the choice of solvent strongly impacts the system's photo-reactivity. Indeed, higher conversion and longer activation wavelengths were observed in water compared to acetonitrile under identical reaction conditions. The wider applicability of the system was demonstrated in the crosslinking of an 8-arm PEG to form hydrogels (ca. 1 cm in thickness) with a range of mechanical properties and pH responsiveness, highlighting the potential of the system in materials science.

Abstract
Recent achievements and future opportunities for the design of 2D, 3D, and 4D materials using photochemical reactions are summarized. Light is an attractive stimulus for material design due to its outstanding spatiotemporal control, and its ability to mediate rapid polymerization under moderate reaction temperatures. These features have been significantly enhanced by major advances in light generation/manipulation with light-emitting diodes and optical fiber technologies which now allows for a broad range of cost-effective fabrication protocols. This combination is driving the preparation of sophisticated 2D, 3D, and 4D materials at the nano-, micro-, and macrosize scales. Looking ahead, future challenges and opportunities that will significantly impact the field and help shape the future of light as a versatile and tunable design tool are highlighted.

Abstract
3D printing, on all scales, is currently a vibrant topic in scientific and industrial research as it has enormous potential to radically change manufacturing. Owing to the inherent nature of the manufacturing process, 3D printed structures may require additional material to structurally support complex features. Such support material must be removed after printing-sometimes termed subtractive manufacturing-without adversely affecting the remaining structure. An elegant solution is the use of photoresists containing labile bonds that allow for controlled cleavage with specific triggers. Herein, we explore state-of-the-art cleavable photoresists for 3D direct laser writing, as well as their potential to combine additive and subtractive manufacturing in a hybrid technology. We discuss photoresist design, feature resolution, cleavage properties, and current limitations of selected examples. Furthermore, we share our perspective on possible labile bonds, and their corresponding cleavage trigger, which we believe will have a critical impact on future applications and expand the toolbox of available cleavable photoresists.

Abstract
Polydiacetylene (PDA) materials are appealing and gaining increasing research interest due to their outstanding chromatic transition and fluorescence enhancement effects upon exposure to various environmental stimuli. However, despite the photomask method, there are very few reports about the spatial controllable photopolymerization and subsequent 3D printing of PDA until now. Herein, for the first time, we reported the preparation of PDA photocomposite materials based on polyacrylate through the strategy of dual-wavelength polymerization and orthogonal chemistry. First, diacetylene (DA) monomers were homogeneously dispersed in acrylate resin. Then a violet light emitting diode (LED) (or laser diode) was used for the free radical polymerization of polyacrylate. Finally, UV irradiation was utilized to induce the 1,4-topopolymerization of PDA, which could show a successive blue to purple to red color transition in response to the gradient increment of temperature. Interestingly, instead of photomasks, we applied a 3D printing approach directly to this composite material and fabricated some macroscopic stereo patterns, which also illustrated thermochromic properties. This novel kind of functional photocomposite material would demonstrate a huge application prospect in many potential fields, including colorimetric sensing, information encryption, anticounterfeiting, and so on.

Abstract
Layer-by-layer (LbL) self-assembly of polymer coatings is a bottom-up fabrication technique with broad applicability across a wide range of materials and applications that require control over interfacial properties. While most LbL coatings are chemically uniform in directions both tangent and perpendicular to their substrate, control over the properties of surface coatings as a function of space can enhance their function. To contribute to this rapidly advancing field, our group has focused on the top-down spatiotemporal control possible with photochemically reactive LbL coatings, harnessed through charge-shifting polyelectrolytes enabled by photocleavable ester pendants. The photolysis of the photocleavable esters degrades LbL films containing these polyelectrolytes. The chemical structures of the photocleavable groups dictate the wavelengths responsible for disrupting these coatings, ranging from ultraviolet to near-infrared in our work. In addition, spatially segregating reactive groups into "compartments" within LbL films has enabled us to fabricate reactive free-standing polymer films and multiheight photopatterned coatings. Overall, by combining bottom-up and top-down approaches, photoreactive LbL films enable precise control over the interfacial properties of polymer and composite coatings.

Abstract
We introduce a chemically λ-orthogonal bichromophore triggered simply by different colours of light, enabling two different photochemical reactions in one molecule. Uniquely, the short wavelength (λ = 314 nm) does not trigger the red-shifted reaction system (λ = 416 nm), opening possibilities for the light controlled gating of specific molecular sites independent of wavelength.

Abstract
The ability to perform multiple chemical reactions independently (orthogonally) in a single reaction vessel can allow simplified reaction protocols for intricate chemical syntheses. Light is an especially advantageous external stimuli to enact such orthogonal chemical reactions due to its independence with other stimuli, instantaneous spatiotemporal control, and material penetrability. The potential to combine orthogonal chemistry and polymerization is also very appealing, as these systems may open the door for polymeric materials to find applications in emerging and high-tech fields, including biotechnology, microelectronics, sensors, energy, and others. We highlight the use of light in orthogonal polymerization protocols, particularly for living and controlled polymerization, and explore potential future directions and challenges for this technology.

Abstract
The light-responsive adaptation of polymer materials typically requires different wavelengths or additional heat to induce reversible covalent bond formation and dissociation. Here, we bypass the use of invasive triggers by introducing light-stabilized dynamic materials that can undergo a repeatable change in topology from a covalently cross-linked material into a liquid polymer formulation by switching one visible light source on-and-off without the need for any additional triggers. Specifically, we exploit the photo-Diels-Alder reaction of triazolinediones with naphthalenes as a dynamic covalent cross-linking platform that enables green light-induced network formation, while the cross-linked material collapses through spontaneous cycloreversion upon standing in the dark at ambient temperature. Importantly, the covalent cross-links remain stabilized for as long as visible light is present, thereby retaining the material's structural integrity. This enables their potential use in an array of light-directed applications whereby network properties such as stiffness can be tuned by the mildest trigger of all: darkness.

Abstract
We report light-induced reactions in a two-chromophore system capable of sequence-independent λ-orthogonal reactivity relying solely on the choice of wavelength and solvent. In a solution of water and acetonitrile, LED irradiation at λmax =285 nm leads to full conversion of 2,5-diphenyltetrazoles with N-ethylmaleimide to the pyrazoline ligation products. Simultaneously present o-methylbenzaldehyde thioethers are retained. Conversely, LED irradiation at λmax =382 nm is used to induce ligation of the o-methylbenzaldehydes in acetonitrile with N-ethylmaleimide via o-quinodimethanes, while 2,5-diphenyltetrazoles also present are retained. This unprecedented photochemical selectivity is achieved through control of the number and wavelength of incident photons as well as favorable optical properties and quantum yields of the reactants in their environment.
