Intramolecular charge transfer complexes (ICTC) of derivatives of 1-diaminonaphthalene-5sulfonamide (DANSYL ANMIE) such as 1-dimethylamino-naphthalene-5-sulfonyl-nbutylanude (l,5-DASB) and 2-dimethylaminonaphthalene-5-sulfonyl-n-butylamide (2'5 DASB), were used as fluorescence probes for cure monitoring of photocurable polymer system1s. *This technique is based upon the difference in fluorescence, intensity from the parallel and ~perpendicular conformations of -the excited state of the complex, and is based on the dependence, of the relative population of each conformation on the mucroviscosity of the system.

INTRAMOLECULAR CHARGE TRANSFER COMPLEXES AS FLUORESCENCE PROBES FOR UV AND VISIBLE LIGHT INDUCED ACRYLATE POLYMERIZATION J. C. Song, A. Torres-Filho and D. C. Neckers Center for Photochemical Sciences* Bowling Green State University Bowling Green, Ohio 43403, USA

AMIDE), such as I -dimethviamino(DANSYL naphthalene-5-sulfonyl-n-butylamide (1,5-DASB) and 2dimethylaminonaphthalene-5-sulfonyl-n-butylamide (2,5-DASB), were used as fluorescence probes for cure This monitoring of photocurable polymer systems. technique is based upon the difference in fluorescence intensity from the parallel and perpendicular conformations of the excited state of the complex, and is based on the dependence of the relative population of each conformation on the microviscosity of the system. As the curing reaction proceeds. the steady state fluorescence emission spectra of the probes were all found to exhibit hypsochromic spectral shifts due to the increase in matrix microniscosity. A linear correlation between the fluorescence intensity ratios (R=lpar./lper.) and the extent of polymerization, measured by transmission FTIR spectrometry, was obtained for different types of acrylated polymers, cured with UV or visible (VIS) initiators,

initiation, reaction conditions and the rate and degree of polymerization. Thus, a thorough understanding of the photocuring process is essential to property control and process optimization of the final products. Several methods have been developed to study the kinetics of photopolymerization. Among them are photodifferential scanning calorimetry (PDSC), 2 "5 laser interferometry, 6 photoacoustic spectroscopy 7, and UV and FrIR spectroscopy. 8 -10 PDSC is basically like a modified DSC, with a Hg lamp source mounted next to the sample. It has been extensively used to study the kinetics of photopolymerization and the degree of cure can also be measured. However, PDSC is not useful for real time cure monitoring and non-destructive analysis of photopolymers. FMIR is widely used to determine the degree of photopolymerization by monitoring the concentration of residual monomers present in various polymer systems. A real time infra-red (RTIR) technique developed by Decker et al.8, 9 allows one to monitor the polymerization process continuously and rapidly in real time. Both the rate and degree of polymerization can be measured. However, IR techniques can only be used to analyze thin films (less than 20 gm thick). Besides that, transmission IR techniques cannot be used to monitor the degree of polymerization of coatings on opaque substratmes. Also, they are not useful for
