Funded Activity Summary

High efficiency photoinitiators for novel photopolymerization processes. The radiation curing industry is worth several billion dollars world-wide with an Australian market of ca. $100 million and an even greater market in the Asian region. One of the main factors controlling the expansion of this industry is the development of new photoinitiator systems with improved performance. This project aims to combine the skills of three leading scientists in the photocuring field to develop more efficient, environmentally-friendly systems by controlling the initiation and polymerization mechanisms in (meth)acrylate, cyclic ether, cyanate and vinyl ethers. This should benefit local manufacturers exporting into the printing, adhesive, dental, lithography, composite industries and to the photopolymer industry generally.
