Notes:
Photopolymerization of methyl methacrylate (MMA) in visible light was studied at 40°C using Rhodamine 6G - Benzoyl peroxide combination as photoinitiator. The photopolymerization proceeds by a free radical mechanism and the radical generation process occurs by an initial complexation reaction between the initiator components. Kinetic data indicated a lower-order dependence of Rp on initiator concentrations (initiator exponent 〈 0.5). Initiator-dependent chain termination was significant along with the bimolecular mode of chain termination.
