New fluorescence probes for monitoring the kinetics of laser‐initiated polymerization

Abstract
Several new fluorescence probes useful for following photopolymerization have been characterized. Among these are probes which can be used in rapidly gelling monomer mixtures and for photochemical polymerization initiated by very high laser powers. Systems which can be used with polyolacrylates and either with visible initiators or with UV initiators are reported. © 1993 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
