Abstract

A method of generating reactive species which includes exposing a photoreactor composition to radiation, in which the photoreactor composition comprises a wavelength-specific sensitizer associated with a reactive species-generating photoinitiator. Also described are methods of polymerizing unsaturated monomers and curing an unsaturated oligomer/monomer mixture.
