Naphthyl-Naphthalimides as High-Performance Visible Light Photoinitiators for 3D Printing and Photocomposites Synthesis

In this article, five new organic dyes based on the naphthalimide scaffold (Napht-1–Napht-5) were synthesized and tested as high-performance photoinitiators for both the Free Radical Photopolymerization (FRP) of acrylates and the Cationic Polymerization (CP) of epoxides using blue Light-Emitting Dio...
