Abstract
The present invention is directed to energy-efficient, photoinitiators having the general formula: wherein Z each independently represent wherein R1, R2, R3, R4, R5, R6, R7, R8 are as defined in claim 1, and wherein R9 represents (R10)2O or (R10)3N; wherein R10 represents H or an alkyl group having from one to eight carbon atoms; and wherein R11 represents H, an alkyl group having from one to eight carbon atoms, a benzyl group or an aralkyl group. The present invention is also directed to a method of generating a reactive species, methods of polymerizing polymerizable materials, methods of curing an unsaturated oligomer/monomer mixture, and methods of laminating using the photoinitiators of the present invention. In addition, the present invention is directed to ink compositions, adhesive compositions and resins, and methods of printing using the above-described photoinitiators.
