Abstract
To establish their potential as source of biradicals to initiate free- radical polymerization, 2-methyl- and 2,2,12-trimethylcyclododecanones were photolyzed in the presence of styrene. The initiation efficiency of both ketones is low-0.03. The molecular weight of the obtained pol ymer is ca. 25% higher than that obtained employing photoinitiators th at produce monoradicals. This difference is explained in terms of a mi xed polymerization mechanism comprising mono- and biradicals. (C) 1996 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
