UV Spectroscopic Investigation of the Photopolymerization Reaction in the Formation of an Optically-Transparent Polymer Medium

The greater transparency of the polymer obtained by adding a small amount of molecular iodine to the liquid photopolymerizing composition is satisfactorily explained by the formation of a π,σ-type charge transfer (CT) complex of oligocarbonate dimethacrylate with molecular iodine. The CT band at 360...

Description
Summary:The greater transparency of the polymer obtained by adding a small amount of molecular iodine to the liquid photopolymerizing composition is satisfactorily explained by the formation of a π,σ-type charge transfer (CT) complex of oligocarbonate dimethacrylate with molecular iodine. The CT band at 360 nm absorbs a significant part of the actinic radiation such that the rate of the photolytic decomposition of the photoinitiator in the initial polymerization stage permits release of free volume from the polymer into the liquid part of the photopolymerizing composite. Layer-by-layer photopolymerization occurs at advanced stages due to the thin upper layers exposed to UV irradiation becoming steadily more transparent.
