Dynamical Model to Describe the Interactions between the Chemical Components in Environment of Photopolymerization of MMA by DyeAmine Systems

Abstract EN

This work discusses the model that explains the aspects of photopolymerization of methyl methacrylate initiated by dye/amine systems.

This model is based on a simulation that uses differential equations.

A similar model following the hypothesis presented here was used with success in a preliminary work, by Magini and Rodrigues (2005), to describe the cationic photopolymerization of THF in the presence of sensitizers/sulfonium salt systems.

Using the same structure was possible to generate a straight correlation between experimental and theoretical results for this system, free radically initiated, opening an important theoretical understanding about the photopolymerization systems and their chemical relations during the reaction.
