Notes:
The choice of photoinitiators is partly governed by the requirement of a high curing speed. Many reactive monomers and efficient photoinitiators have been synthesized and are commercially available. However, improved photoinitiator systems, exhibiting increasingly faster curing speeds and/or increased photosensitivity, are increasingly required. The intrinsic reactivity in the exicited states determines te interest of a given photoinitiator with reference to its efficiency. However, other factors e.g. high molecular absorption coefficients and a broad spectral absorption range, synergistic effects, yellowing, extractability, and th effect on the long-term stability, must be considered as important. An attractive field of research and development is found in the role played by decisive parameters affecting the reactivity of a given structure, such as chemical substitution in well-chosen positions, the character of water solubility, acid release ability, and copolymerization potential. Laser spectroscopy proved a most convenient tool for the real time investigation of the excited state dynamics and the processes involved.
