Description
Summary:Photopolymerization processes are currently one of the leading methods used in various areas of the chemical industry. Despite the many advantages and the simplicity of the light-initiated polymerization process itself, there are a number of parameters that are crucial to the performance and efficiency of the process, and that also affect economic or environmental specifications. As a result, the ability to quickly control the process in real time is essential. There are a number of techniques that enable the on-line control of photopolymerization, and this paper provides a broad overview of the available methods, both for laboratory and industrial use, that allow qualitative and quantitative analysis of the process. This review provides a description of each research methodology along with a description of the parameters that can be monitored and controlled using the technique. Authomatic in-situ monitoring and characterization of photopolymerization.
