The studies show that the rate of maximum polymerization was found to increase with increase in concentration of photoinitiator while a decrease was observed by an increase in temperature. The final conversion showed a decrease at highest isothermal condition due to vitrification. Estimation of kinetic parameters including applicability of autocatalytic and modified autocatalytic models were investigated by nonlinear regression. It was observed that the modified models gave a better fit with the experimental data and kinetic parameters showed a decrease with increase in temperature and an increase with increase in concentration of photoinitiator.</p>10aAutocatalytic model10akinetics10aLevenberg-Marquardt method10aPhotopolymerization1 aHarikrishna, Reghunathan1 aPonrathnam, S.1 aRajan, C., R.1 aTambe, S., S.  uhttps://library.ncl.res.in/content/photopolymerization-bis-aromatic-and-alicyclic-based-solid-urethane-acrylate-macromonomer-001996nas a2200217   4500008004100000022001400041245012300055210006900178260006900247300001200316490000700328520115900335653003401494653001301528653001701541653002401558100002901582700001901611700001801630856013001648       2014                        eng d  a0300-944000aPhotopolymerization kinetics of bis-aromatic based urethane acrylate macromonomers in the presence of reactive diluent0 aPhotopolymerization kinetics of bisaromatic based urethane acryl  aPO BOX 564, 1001 LAUSANNE, SWITZERLANDbELSEVIER SCIENCE SAcJAN  a225-2310 v773 a<p>The present work deals with the photopolymerization of bis-aromatic based urethane acrylate macromonomers in the presence of excess end capping agent as reactive diluent and estimation of their kinetic parameters. Formulations were made by independently homogenizing the macromonomers with photoinitiators of three different classes. Three different compositions of photoinitiators were used to study the effect of concentration of photoinitiator on cure kinetics. These compositions obtained were tested for photo curing performance using photo DSC under polychromatic radiation. The heat flows against time were recorded for all formulations under isothermal condition and the rates of polymerization, peak maximum times as well as the percentage conversions were estimated. It was observed that due to a longer timescale for reaction diffusion, formulations with macromonomer containing propoxylated backbone showed higher conversions than the corresponding ethoxylated analogue. The photopolymerization and kinetic estimations of the formulations including evaluation of kinetic model are discussed. (C) 2013 Elsevier B.V.
