Exposure to UV light polymerizes the monomer to a cross-linked matrix and enables a negative image of the mask to be formed by solvent development.

Explosive, flammable and toxic liquid. Should be stored and used in closed systems whenever possible. Work areas should be adequately ventilated, and should be free from open lights, flames, and equipment that is not explosion-proof. Handle in hood. May polymerize spontaneously, particularly in the absence of oxygen or on exposure to visible light. Polymerizes violently io the presence of concentrated alkali. On standing may slowly develop a yellow color particularly after excessive exposure to light, hp 77.3 bpsoo 64.7° bp2b, 45.5° bp--, 23,6° bp,<, 8.7°. mp -83.55°. d 0.8060 df 0.8004. ng 1.3888.

After decomposition of the photo-initiators by u.v. light, polymerization is very rapid and films may be substantially cured in less than a second. Further polymerization can occur at room or higher temperatures after u.v. illumination has ceased.

A common feature of both step and chain photopolymerization processes is the stability of the reaction mixture in the dark or e.g. in yellow light, when the system is insensitive to radiation with a wavelength of more than 500 nm. Upon switching on the actinic light, polymerization will start immediately and at a high rate. 

The physical essence of the model of evolution of biological systems can be understood on an example of the intercormected processes of formation (polymerization) and destruction (depolymerization) of such a known polymer as poly (acrylonitrile). If one analyzes the whole sequence of the processes including heterogeneous formation of solid poly(acrylonitrile) (accompanied by precipitation), its depolymerization (under the influence of light), polymerization of the again formed monomer etc., then, in a thermodynamic relation, these processes (of course, in a certain approximation) model the development of an oiganism and its evolution.
