D. Braun et C. Hettigrupaner, PHOTOINDUCED POLYMERIZATION .3. POLYMERIZ ATION OF METHYL-METHACRYLATE WITH 2,3-DIMETHYL-4,6-DIPHENYLQUINOLINE BIS(2-ETHOXYETHYL) ETHER/, Die Angewandte makromolekulare Chemie, 212, 1993, pp. 181-189
2,3-Dimethyl-4,6-diphenylquinoline is an initiating quinoline derivati
ve with a UV absorbance wavelength longer than that of 2,3-dimethyl-4-
phenylquinoline. Therefore, Light-induced solution polymerizations of
methyl methacrylate in the presence of the hydrogen donator bis(2-etho
xyethyl) ether result in increasing overall polymerization rates by us
ing this new UV initiator system.
