Abstract
Abstract Trimethylolpropane trimethacrylate, glyceryl trimethacrylate, pentaerythritol tetraacrylate and dipentaerythritol monohydroxypentaacrylate were polymerized by ultra-violet irradiation in the presence of 2,2-dimethoxy-2-phenylacetophenone as a photoinitiator. The polymerization reactions and some of the polymers' physical properties were studied to determine the possible use of these monomers as lacquers for laser video disc production. Thermal analysis and compressive creep experiments were performed to investigate the crosslinked structure of these networks.
