✦ Synopsis


A combination of Michler's ketone and benzoyl peroxide was used as photoinitiator for photopolymerization of methyl methacrylate at 40". Spectrophotometric analysis indicated equilibrium complexation between the initiator components; the complex is considered to be the actual initiating species, giving free radicals by photo-decomposition.

The observed initiator exponent of 0.21 and monomer exponent of > I in various solvents reveal non-ideality in the photopolymerization kinetics. The non-idealities are interpreted in terms of initiator dependent chain termination mainly by primary radicals, in addition to the usual bimolecular termination.

Photopolymerization of MMA at 35 was studied using benzophenone (BP)-dimethylaniline (DMA) combination as photo-redox initiator. Initiator exponent was 0.13: monomer exponent was < 1.0 in chlorinated solvents and > 1.0 in other solvents. Photoreduction of BP by DMA is considered to produce chain-ini

Photopolymerization of methyl methacrylate in the presence of mercaptobenzthiazole shows some deviation from the simple reaction scheme, particularly at higher initiator concentrations and with solvents like benzene. The deviation has been explained by the participation of mercaptobenzthiazole in th

Photopolymerization of the vinyl monomer (M) of methyl methacrylate (MMA) was kinetically studied by using near-UV/visible light at 40ЊC and employing a morpholine (MOR) -sulfur dioxide (SO 2 ) charge-transfer (C-T) complex as the photoinitiator. The rate of polymerization ( R P ) was found to be de
