Polymerization, structure and track recording properties of CR-39 cured with UV photoinitiators

摘要

CR-39 monomer was cured isothermally at temperatures from 54.5 to 115 degrees C with UV sensitive photoinitiators to high conversions, The use of photoinitiators allowed the cure of CR-39 isothermally at high temperatures and eliminated the danger of thermal runaway present in the conventionally used thermal initiation with peroxides. It was found that the properties of the UV photoinitiated CR-39 were similar to the conventionally polymerized resin. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved. [References: 12]
