Title: PHOTOPOLYMERIZATION OF VINYL MONOMERS BY MEANS OF SILVER COMPOUNDS AS CATALYSTS PROMOTED BY OXIDES

Patent ·
OSTI ID:4089584

The formation of solid polymers by photopolymerization of normally liquid or solid monomeric vinyl compounds by catalyst and a suitable oxide as a promoter for the catalyst is described. It consists of irradiating such a monomer in the presence of water with radiation of a wave length ranging from 10/ sup -//sup 1/ to 10/sup -//sup 1//sup 0/ centimeters, using a catalytic amount of radiation-sensitive silver compound as a catalyst and promoting the catalytic activity of the silver compound with zinc oxide, zirconium dioxide, titanium dioxide, or silicon dioxide, but excluding the use of a silver compound which is a very active oxidation agent.
