Polymerization of acrylamide in aqueous medium initiated by a redox system of 4-carboxybenzophenone and sulfur-containing amino acids
The photopolymerization of acrylamide in aqueous medium initiated by redox system consisting of 4-carboxybenzophenone and sulfur-containing amino acids was studied. The rate of polymerization depends on the quenching rate of the 4-carboxybenzophenone triplet by the sulfur-containing amino acid and on the kind of radicals obtained.
