The electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectra obtained from radica
ls produced during the photopolymerization of multifunctional acrylic
and methacrylic monomers have been interpreted by taking into account
the EPR line-broadening due to dynamic exchange between two conformati
ons of the beta-methylene groups and a spin-spin dipolar interaction b
etween radicals trapped in rigid regions of the polymer. From H-1 matr
ix electron and nuclear double resonance (ENDOR) spectra the distance
between the radical center and the surrounding shells of protons can b
e estimated.
