General description

Camphorquinone (CQ) absorbs UV radiation in the region of 200-300nm due to the Π−Π* transition and visible light (400-500nm) due to the n, Π* transition of the α-dicarbonyl chromophore.

Application

CQ-amines are used as a photo initiators for free radical polymerization. CQ was used as an initiator in the preparation of silver nanoparticle/silica/ polymer nanocomposites. Photopolymerization kinetics of dimethacrylates were studied using the CQ/amine initiator system.

The Progress in Development of Dental Restorative Materials

With dentists placing nearly 100 million dental fillings into patients′ teeth annually in the U.S. alone, polymeric composite restoratives account for a very large share of the biomaterials market.

Our team of scientists has experience in all areas of research including Life Science, Material Science, Chemical Synthesis, Chromatography, Analytical and many others.
