 In this study, two new NAFTA quinone-based photo initiators were developed and tested for their potential use in free radical photopolymerization. The photo initiators displayed excellent photo initiation capability when combined with acrylate monomers and a common iodonium salt or a tertiary amine in a two-component photo initiating system. Additionally, they could be used in one component photo initiating systems and exhibited high photo initiation ability. These compounds were also found to have good compatibility with 3D printing techniques such as direct laser writing.
