2-Mercaptothioxanthone as a Novel Photoinitiator for Free Radical Polymerization
Abstract
2-Mercaptothioxanthone (TX-SH), a hydrogen abstraction type photoinitiator for free radical polymerization, is synthesized and characterized. Its capability to act as an initiator for the polymerization of methyl methacrylate (MMA), styrene (St), and multifunctional monomers is examined. The relative efficiencies of TX-SH, the parent thioxanthone (TX), and their combination with an amine synergist such as N -methyldiethanolamine (MDEA) are compared in the photopolymerization. The postulated mechanism is based on the intermolecular reaction of triplet, 3 TX-SH*, with the thiol moiety of ground-state TX-SH. Thus, when TX-SH is irradiated in the presence of a monomer, it can serve as both a triplet photosensitizer and a hydrogen donor. The resulting thiyl radicals initiate the polymerization. Incorporation of TX-S groups into polymers was demonstrated by spectroscopic methods.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
