Abstract

Photoinitiated free radical polymerization of methylmethacrylate (MMA), (N-isopropyfcarbamate) ethylpropenoate (CL-960) and tripropyleneglycol diacrylate (TPGDA) by using polysilanes in the presence of N-ethoxy-2 methyl pyridinium bexafluorophosphate (EMP+PF6) and diphenyliodontum hexaffurophosphate (Ph2l+ PF6) was studied In the presence of the cationic salts the rate of photopolymerization was significantly increased The effect was attributed to the oxidation of silyl radicals formed from the photoscission of polysilane by pyndimum or diphenliodomum salts. The resulting radicals species are more capable of initiating the radical polymehzation.
