Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim 44 words
A photopolymerisable composition which comprises an ethylenically unsaturated polyester, an ethylenically unsaturated comonomer, and a photosensitive catalyst comprising: (a) at least one photosensitiser which is an alpha-diketone selected from the group consisting of biacetyl, benzil, alpha-naphthil, beta-naphthil, p-tolil, furil, p,p'-dialkoxybenzil, p,p'-dihalobenzil and p-nitrobenzil, and
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 44 words
A photopolymerisable composition which comprises an ethylenically unsaturated polyester, an ethylenically unsaturated comonomer, and a photosensitive catalyst comprising: (a) at least one photosensitiser which is an alpha-diketone selected from the group consisting of biacetyl, benzil, alpha-naphthil, beta-naphthil, p-tolil, furil, p,p'-dialkoxybenzil, p,p'-dihalobenzil and p-nitrobenzil, and
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 10 words
(b) a reducing agent which is a N-alkyl- or N-cycloalkyl-morpholine.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 10 words
(b) a reducing agent which is a N-alkyl- or N-cycloalkyl-morpholine.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 28 words
A composition as claimed in claim 1 in which the N-alkyl or N-cycloalkyl morpholine is an N- (C 1 to C 6 ) alkyl morpholine, N-cyclohexylmorpholine or N-methylcyclohexylmorpholine.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 126 words
A composition as claimed in claim 1 which comprises: (a) 0.001% to 10% by weight of the composition of benzil, (b) 0.1% to 10% by weight of the composition of an N-(C 1 to C 6 alkyl)morpholine, (c) an ethylenically unsaturated polyester formed by the condensation of an ethylenically unsaturated dibasic acid selected from the group consisting of maleic acid, maleic anhydride, fumaric acid, itaconic acid, itaconic acid anhydride, mesaconic acid and citraconic acid with a polyhydric alcohol selected from the group consisting of ethylene glycol, propylene glycol, diethylene glycol, dipropylene glycol, triethylene glycol, tripropylene glycol, glycerol, neopentyl glycol, pentaerythritol, dipentaerythritol, polyethylene glycol and polypropylene glycol, and (d) an ethylenically unsaturated comonomer selected from the group consisting of styrene, alpha-methylstyrene, vinyltoluene, divinylbenzene, diallylphthalate, vinylacetate and methylmethacrylate.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim 37 words
A composition as claimed in claim 3 in which the ethylenically unsaturated polyester is also formed from a dibasic acid selected from the group consisting of orthophthalic acid, phthalic anhydride, isophthalic acid, terephthalic acid and adipic acid.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim 33 words
A process for the preparation of a polymeric material which comprises irradiating a photopolymerisable composition as claimed in claim 1 with radiation having a wavelength in the range 230 mμ to 600 mμ.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim 20 words
A composition as claimed in claim 1 in which the ethylenically unsaturated comonomer comprises a vinyl, allyl or vinylidene monomer.
