Abstract
The study of the mechanism of the processes taking place in photocross linking of the homopolymer of dicyclopentenyl acrylate (DCPA), was rea lized using ultraviolet and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) measurem ents. Different kinetics of crosslinking in the presence and absence o f benzophenone prove the efficiency of this photosensitive system. The particular structure of the acrylic matrix of poly(DCPA), i.e., the p resence of a residual unsaturated bond and a cyclic structure, reveals its high photooxidation potential (hydroperoxyde formation as detecte d by FTIR between 3 300 and 3 600 cm(-1)).
