Abstract

A photopolymerizable composition comprising at least one polymerizable ethylenically unsaturated material, for example, an ethylenically unsaturated monomer, and a photosensitive catalyst comprising PA1 A. at least one photosensitizer having the structure ##STR1## where X is >C=O, >CR.sub.1 R.sub.2 or >CR.sub.3 OR.sub.4, especially >C=O, R.sub.1 to R.sub.4 and hydrogen or hydrocarbyl groups, n is 0 or 1, and the groups A are hydrocarbyl or substituted hydrocarbyl groups, the groups A being aromatic or substituted aromatic when n is 1 and X is >CR.sub.1 R.sub.2 and when n is 0, and PA1 B. at least one reducing agent, for example, an amine or a phosphine, capable of reducing the photosensitizer when the photosensitizer is in an excited state.
