The application relates to the technical field of organic
photocatalysis, and specifically puts forward a
sulfur-containing
photoinitiator composition and a free
radical polymerization system. The
sulfur-containing
photoinitiator composition specifically comprises an organic photocatalyst and a
sulfur-containing initiator. When used for photoinitiated free
radical polymerization, the organic photocatalyst and the sulfur-containing initiator respectively act as an
acceptor and a donor, a photoinduced reaction occurs under light to form a
charge transfer complex, and the
charge transfer complex is dissociated into free radicals to initiate free
radical polymerization. The application utilizes a novel sulfur-containing
photoinitiator composition, and successfully applies the sulfur-containing photoinitiator composition to the
polymerization field. Since the sulfur-containing photoinitiator composition exhibits excellent insensitivity to water and
oxygen, the sulfur-containing photoinitiator composition can be rapidly initiated under light in an air environment without a
metal catalyst and a complicated
oxygen removal operation, so that the sulfur-containing photoinitiator composition can provide a brand-new green synthesis path for the development of high-performance
functional polymers, and the technical problems of existing
polymerization technologies, such as environmental sensitivity, complicated steps or dependence on
metal catalysts, are solved.
