β¦ Synopsis
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-initiating radicals and analysis of kinetic data indicates this process to be solvent and monomer dependent. Chlorinated solvents are indicated to be much more reactive than other solvents. The photopolymerization is also characterized by significant primary radical termination.

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
