Abstract
This chapter describes photochemical processes of polymers including photopolymerization and photocrosslinkable polymerization. Photoinitiators are key components in photopolymerization that generate reactive species of free radicals or ions via Norrish type I or Norrish type II reactions. Visible-light photoinitiators are fascinating compounds, because visible-light curing is a challenging issue due to high demands in diverse applications such as dental restoration, reprography, and three-dimensional printing. Photo-iniferters are also attractive photoinitiators that yield high-reactive free radicals, leading to a living radical polymerization with narrow polydispersity. Photoreactive polymers including the photoinitiators have functional properties for biological applications, for example, the photo-induced micropatterned surfaces in synthetic polymers for immobilization of cells, and photo-cross-linking in biopolymers for tissue engineering. We also describe photolabile compounds, photodegradation of chemical structures, for development of a mild chemical approach for dealing with sensitive biomolecules against acids and bases.
