Efficient stabilization of thiol-ene formulations in radical photopolymerization

Abstract

Various phenolic radical inhibitors were tested to improve storage stability of thiol-ene formulations. After determining the optimal inhibitor, a synergetic effect was discovered when it was used in combination with acidic buffer, thus preventing premature dark gelation while maintaining desired photoreactivity.
