Abstract
This paper provides a complete survey of the primary processes involved in typical oil‐and water‐soluble thioxanthane derivatives dissolved in sodium dodecyl sulfate micelles, in the presence of monomers and amines. Special emphasis is laid on the determination of the rate constants of the different processes and the absorption spectra of the transients. Relevant data are shown and discussed with reference to the effectiveness of these molecules as photopolymerization initiators.
