The present invention is directed to method of forming a polymer comprising exposing a mixture comprising an organic pre-polymer, an organic photoredox catalyst, and an organic initiator to a source of visible or near-infrared light under conditions and for a time sufficient to polymerize the organic pre-polymer, and polymers and articles derived therefrom. 1. A method of forming a polymer comprising exposing a mixture comprising an organic pre-polymer , an organic photoredox catalyst , and an organic initiator to a source of visible light under conditions and for a time sufficient to polymerize the organic pre-polymer.2. The method claim 1 , wherein the mixture is substantially free of photoredox catalysts comprising metals or metalloids.3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the organic pre-polymer is a monomer or oligomer having polymerizable functional groups.4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the organic pre-polymer comprises an alpha olefin claim 1 , diolefin claim 1 , internal olefin claim 1 , or cyclic olefin5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the organic pre-polymer comprises an acrylate claim 1 , methacrylate claim 1 , acrylamide claim 1 , methacrylamide claim 1 , acrylonitrile claim 1 , vinyl acetate claim 1 , vinyl ketone claim 1 , vinyl aldehyde claim 1 , vinyl chloride claim 1 , vinyl ether claim 1 , vinyl amine claim 1 , vinyl silsesquioxane claim 1 , vinyl phosphonate claim 1 , or vinyl sulfonate claim 1 , or a mixture thereof.6. The method of claim 5 , wherein the organic pre-polymer comprises an acrylate or methacrylate.7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the photoredox catalyst is an organic molecule capable of reaching an excited electronic state when exposed to the visible light claim 1 , and having at least one absorption or emission wavelength in a range of from about 200 nm to about 800 nm.8. The method of claim 1 , wherein a source of visible light delivers a wavelength of light coincident with at least one absorption wavelength of the photoredox ...
