IMPROVEMENTS RELATING TO PHOTOPOLYMERIZATION OF VINYL MONOMERS

Patent ·
OSTI ID:4805490

The rate at which vinyl monomers may be photopolymerized may be greatly increased if a catalyst is used comprising a mixture of an insoluble silver halide; a relatively soluble silver salt; one of the compounds ZnO, ZrO/sub 2/, TiO/sub 2/, and SiO/sub 2/; and an optical sensitizing dye. A crosslinking agent may also be used to improve the properties of the final polymer. The radiation used to initiate the reaction is in the 10/sup -1/ to l0/sup -10/ cm range. (D.L.C.)
