Even though many organic dyes have been reported as photoinitiators/photosensitizers for
free radical polymerization in the literature, the design and development of novel …

Visible light induced synthesis generally involves i) dyes or chromophores with potential
photocleavable bonds (Type I photoinitiator), ii) hydrogen abstractions (Type II photoinitiator) …

We present a group of seven new advanced symmetric iodonium salts bearing two
benzylidene-based chromophores. This is the first example of the use of a double bond in …

Carbon dots (CDs) have been used for the first time as a sensitizer to initiate and activate
free radical and controlled radical polymerization, respectively, based on an ATRP protocol …

NIR‐sensitized photoinduced atom‐transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) is possible by
using ppm of CuII/tris (2‐pyridylmethyl) amine (TPMA) as the catalyst, a polymethine as the …

A near‐infrared‐absorbing heptamethine (HM+) incorporating three bulky benzo [cd] indole
heterocycles was designed to efficiently prevent self‐aggregation of the dye, which results in …

Efficient photopolymerization activated by nonharmful near-infrared (NIR) light is important
for various biological applications. Here we propose a NIR light free-radical photoinitiator …

Carbon nanodots (CDs) originating from different biomass result in different activities to
sensitize photo‐ATRP and photo‐CuAAC reaction protocols with visible light. Free radical …

The photoinduced polymerization of monomers is currently an essential tool in various
industries. The photopolymerization process plays an increasingly important role in …

Photoinitiated radical polymerization using as photoinitiator system a combination of NIR-
sensitizer (Sens) and a radical initiator (RI) was investigated in different multifunctional …
