Abstract

Three-component photoinitiator systems generally include a light-absorbing photosensitizer (PS), an electron donor and an electron acceptor, which is usually an onium salt. To investigate the key factors involved with visible-light free radical polymerizations of three-component photoinitiators, we used thermodynamic feasibility and kinetic considerations with three-component photoinitiator systems containing either rose bengal (RB) or fluorescein (FL) as the photosensitizer. The Rhem-Weller equation was used to verify the thermodynamic feasibility for the photo-induced electron transfer reaction. Using the thermodynamic feasibility, we suggest three different kinetic mechanisms, which are i) photo-reducible series mechanism, ii) photo-oxidizable series mechanism and iii) parallel-series mechanism.
