Photoinitiating systems for polymerization reactions are largely encountered in a variety of traditional and high-tech sectors, such as radiation curing, (laser) imaging, (micro)electronics, optics, and medicine.

This book extensively covers radical and nonradical photoinitiating systems and is divided into four parts:

* Basic principles in photopolymerization reactions
* Radical photoinitiating systems
* Nonradical photoinitiating systems
* Reactivity of the photoinitiating system

The four parts present the basic concepts of photopolymerization reactions, review...
