The Effect of Light

Most photochemical reactions are not very polar and often involve free radical intermediates. But initiation of a reaction by light is no infallible indication of a radical mechanism, as is clear from the example of the photo-ionization of certain triarylmethyl cyanides.448 

In spite of such exceptions ionic reactions initiated by light are rare. The reason is probably to be found in the important part played by the solvent in ionization. An ordinary ionization reaction produces solvated rather than free ions and its free energy is very much lowered by the solvation of the ions. It is the solvation energy that usually makes it possible for ionic reactions to coinpete with related radical reactions. In an ionization reaction in which the energy needed is supplied directly by a photon, the solvent molecules must be arranged in advance in the positions they will need to occupy about the solvated ions. This is highly unlikely. 

It might be objected that all that is needed is a more energetic photon capable of producing unsolvated ions. But the hot ions made by such a process can not be expected to have the stability of the less energetic solvated ones, and will probably give different and less clean-cut reactions.

Therefore, the obtained —CO—CH==CH—R group PS has a high photosensitivity property and can be cross-linked with the effect of light. The group is used in the field of photography [29,30]. 

In order to study the mobility of elements of crosslinked structure of CP, it is suitable to use their microdisperse forms [30-35]. On the one hand, in potentiome-tric titration the equilibrium is quickly attained for these forms and on the other hand the effect of light scattering in spectral methods of investigation (e.g., polarized luminescence) can be greatly decreased. 

This is caused by the effect of air on an ether. This is classed as a radical reaction as the effects of light, heat and radical sources demonstrate. The general reaction can be written ...

The mechanisms of photochemical degradation of a polymer are rather difficult to study as the observed degradation is typically a result of the effect of light on the contaminants in the polymer rather than the pure polymer. Studies typically look for the degradation products, either low molecular weight volatiles or radicals, or work to identify the wavelength of light absorbed by the system via spectroscopic methods.

The Effect of Light Source on Curing Rate. As stated earlier, Sylvania F4T5 was the lamp used in the standard Photo-DSC measurements and this lamp had a broad emission spectrum centered at 350 nm. When an alternate lamp (GE F4T5) with an emission peak at 365 nm was used, the ranking of initiators, in terms of peak time, remained the same. Table III lists representative results from these experiments. The emission spectrum of this GE lamp was also shown in Figure 3.
