Photopolymerization of high internal phase emulsions based on 2-ethylhexyl (meth)acrylates and ethylene glycol dimethacrylate was carried out in presence of low concentration of different photoinitiators. The stable emulsions obtained by mixing with individual photoinitiators were subjected to low-intensity photopolymerization under UV-Visible lamp. Identical samples were irradiated for differing periods ranging from 2 to 10min at an interval of 2min. The percentage conversions of each monomer in the compositions with respect to the time of irradiation were determined using gas chromatography. It was observed that the formulations containing IRGACURE 819 showed the highest conversion while that containing IRGACURE 2959 showed the least conversion. The former showed high conversion due to the proximity of the absorption maxima of photoinitiator to the major emission line of mercury spectrum at 365nm while the latter showed least conversion due to non-availability of major absorption maxima within the irradiation range.
