INTRODUCTION

The aim of this article is to give a brief overview of the general principles of photo-initiated polymerization and the different types of photopolymerizable systems currently in use. It also examines the kinetic aspects of these ultra-fast processes, which transform the reactive molecule into a material with the properties required for the intended application.

For further details on the photochemical process, the performance of the various systems and the characteristics of the photopolymers obtained, please refer to the monographs and review articles [1] to [12] recently published on the subject [Doc. AM 3 044].

Equipment

An industrial UV irradiation plant comprises three basic elements (figure 1 ):

a light source (S) fitted with a parabolic or elliptical reflector. This is usually a medium-pressure mercury vapor lamp, which can be doped with a gallium salt to shift the emission spectrum towards...
