Some polymeric photoinitiators based on alpha-hydroxymethylbenzoin and its
methyl ether are used to initiate the polymerization of methyl methacrylate
in solution and the crosslinking of an epoxyacrylate formulation in thin f
ilms. Zn general the polymeric photoinitiators perform better than correspo
nding low molecular weight model compounds. Moreover, it is found that poly
meric photoinitiators based on alpha-hydroxymethylbenzoin methyl ether perf
orm better than those based on alpha-hydroxymethylbenzoin. Explanations for
these observations are advanced. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science S.A. All rights
