High-performance anthrone-based low-migration photoinitiators for low-power photopolymerization
In this work, anthrone-based donor–acceptor–donor-type photoinitiators (DXD and DTD) were synthesized and introduced into a two-component system with diphenyliodonium hexafluorophosphate (Iod) for the...
