Abstract

Abstract A photopolymerisable composition which comprises at least one ethylenically unsaturated polymerisable monomer, at least one selected ketone and at least one organic peroxide. The compositions are useful in the preparation of adhesives, paints and varnishes particularly in dental applications and exhibit reduced air inhibition on being cured by visible radiation in the range 400 mµ to 500 mµ.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 15
Claim 1
Independent Claim 31 words
A photopolymerisable composition which comprises at least one ethylenically unsaturated polymerisable monomer, at least one ketone selected from fluorenone and camphorquinone and their substituted derivatives and at least one organic peroxide.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 31 words
A photopolymerisable composition which comprises at least one ethylenically unsaturated polymerisable monomer, at least one ketone selected from fluorenone and camphorquinone and their substituted derivatives and at least one organic peroxide.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 50 words
A photopolymerisable composition which comprises at least one ethylenically unsaturated polymerisable monomer, at least one ketone selected from fluorenone, benzil and camphorquinone and their substituted derivatives, at least one reducing agent capable of reducing the ketone when the latter is in an excited state and at least one organic peroxide.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 50 words
A photopolymerisable composition which comprises at least one ethylenically unsaturated polymerisable monomer, at least one ketone selected from fluorenone, benzil and camphorquinone and their substituted derivatives, at least one reducing agent capable of reducing the ketone when the latter is in an excited state and at least one organic peroxide.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 25 words
A photopolymerisable composition according to claim 2 in which the reducing agent concentration is in the range 0.01% to 2% by weight of the composition.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 107 words
A photopolymerisable composition according to either claim 2 or claim 3 in which the reducing agent is an organic amine having the formula R gN where the groups R 4 , which may be the same or different, are hydrogen atoms, hydrocarbyl groups, substituted hydrocarbyl groups or groups in which two units R 4 together with the nitrogen atom form a cyclic ring system, no more than two of the units R 4 being hydrogen atoms and where R 4 is attached directly to an aromatic group R 4 , at least one of the other units R 4 has a group attached to the nitrogen atom.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim 24 words
A photopolymerisable composition according to any one of claims 1 to 4 in which the ethylenically unsaturated polymerisable monomer comprises a diacrylate or dimethacrylate.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim 29 words
