Abstract: The photopolymerization kinetics of 2,2'-diomethoxyphenyl-4,4',5,5'-tetraphenyl-1,2'-diphenylimidazole (BMOIM) was investigated in this study. The UV absorption spectra of photoinitiator, hydrogendonor and photosensitizer were analysized by UV spectrometer. Real time infrared spectroscopy (RT-IR) was used to investigate the influence of different light intensity, different functionality monomer system and photoinitiator concentration on polymerization kinetics. The results showed that the double bond conversion could reach to 96% in 20 s, when the concentration of photoinitiator was 0.6%. The rate of polymerization increased with increase of the initiator concentration. The final double bond conversion and polymerization rate increased with increase of light intensity. The final double bond conversion of bifunctional monomer was higher than that of trifunctional monomer.

Key words: photoinitiator, photopolymerization, kinetics, RT-IR
