光引发剂 (guāng yǐn fā jì)
Explanation in English Language (EN):
A photoinitiator is a substance that generates free radicals upon exposure to light. Photoinitiators are used in photopolymerization, a process where polymerization is initiated by light. They absorb light energy and undergo a chemical reaction to produce free radicals, which then initiate the polymerization of monomers. Photoinitiators are used in various applications, including coatings, adhesives, and 3D printing.
Explanation in Mandarin (ZH):
光引发剂是暴露于光后会产生自由基的物质。光引发剂用于光聚合,光聚合是由光引发的聚合过程。它们吸收光能并进行化学反应以产生自由基,然后自由基引发单体的聚合。光引发剂用于各种应用,包括涂料、粘合剂和 3D 打印。
