Features: This book is a specialized monograph on polymer photochemistry. It discusses polymer photopolymerization, photoinitiation mechanisms, polymer photo-oxidation, photodegradation, and photostabilization mechanisms. It also explores the use of photochemical fluorescent probes to study chemical and physical properties of polymers, such as the miscibility between polymers in molecular alloy systems and phase transitions in polymer condensed states. The book also provides extensive discussions on the practical applications of polymer photochemistry, introducing and analyzing materials widely used in industry, such as photoresists, printing plates, as well as emerging high-tech materials like polymer photo/electronic materials. Finally, it looks ahead to the future development prospects of polymer photochemistry. This book is suitable for undergraduate and graduate students, as well as teachers in the fields of chemistry and materials science at universities, and can also serve as a reference for professionals in related disciplines.
