Abstract
Abstract The synthesis of 2-acryloylthioxanthone monomer is described together with its copolymerization with acrylic monomers such as methyl methacrylate. The preparation of novel polymers containing pendant thioxanthone groups is also described, by reaction with substituted chloromethyl groups. The efficiencies and potential advantages of the new monomer and polymers in initiating the photopolymerization of a commercial triacrylate resin are described.
