Application

  • Photochemical Thiol-Ene “Click” Chemistry: The study utilized 2-hydroxy-2-methylpropiophenone for the synthesis of highly functional polyols by photochemical thiol-ene “click” chemistry (M Ionescu, A Garcia-Comer, T Spidel, 2023).
  • Development of Water-Soluble Type I Photoinitiators: This study focused on the development of new water-soluble type I photoinitiators for hydrogel synthesis using 2-hydroxy-2-methylpropiophenone, enhancing the understanding of photopolymerization processes (B Aubry, F Dumur, M Lansalot, E Bourgeat-Lami, 2022).

General description

2-Hydroxy-2-methylpropiophenone is a radical photoinitiator (PI) molecule that can be used in the crosslinking of polymers by the exposure of UV radiation. It can be used in the development of UV curable resins for exterior coating applications.

The decoration of porous membranes with a dense layer of nanoparticles imparts useful functionality and can enhance membrane separation and anti-fouling properties. However, manufacturing of nanoparticle-coated membranes requires multiple steps and tedious processing. Here, we introduce a facile single-step method

Nanodroplets on a solid surface (i.e., surface nanodroplets) have practical implications for high-throughput chemical and biological analysis, lubrications, laboratory-on-chip devices, and near-field imaging techniques. Oil nanodroplets can be produced on a solid-liquid interface in a simple step of solvent exchange
