affects both the reaction rate and the final double-bond conversation. The
structures of the monomer and photo-initiators are shown in Figure 1.14.
The monomer with the photo-initiator HAC (2-hydroxy-2-methyl-1-phenyl-
propan-1-one) showed the highest conversion rate and reached the highest
level of double-bond conversion, followed by the mixtures with BP (benzo-
phenone) TX (2,4-diethyl-9H-thioxanthen-9-one). The high conversion rate
for HAC might be due to the quick generation of radical pairs through the
