Abstract
The present paper is a review of recent work carried out on photopolymers. The specific role of the different components of the reactive composition are emphasized, in particular that of the initiator and the monomer. Typical examples of the behaviour of the excited states (investigated by laser spectroscopy) are presented. These lead to a better insight in the photophysical and photochemical processes involved and allow a general discussion of initiation efficiency with reference to the monomer-initiator pair. The paper is concerned with results obtained in photoinitiated radical polymerization which is still the most common mechanism in practical photopolymer systems.
