The TPGDA drop was suspended in the atmosphere under acoustic levitation and induced by photoinitiation for polymer preparation at the first attempt. The kinetics of TPGDA photopolymerization induced by the UV light under containerless condition was studied. Compared to the normal condition, the average initial polymerization rate of TPGDA under acoustic levitation is relatively lower, while the final conversion is higher. Relative to oxygen inhibition, container effect plays a more significant role on the conversion in this polymerization system.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
