Laser spectroscopy of substituted benzophenone used as photo-initiators of vinyl polymerization

  • Published:
Polymer Bulletin Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

Nanosecond laser spectroscopy is applied to the determination of the rate constants of several processes involved in the photochemistry of a series of substituted benzophenones. The results allow the initiation of a vinyl monomer polymerization to be discussed and reveal a peculiarity of the benzene/THF system.
