Application of the phenomenon of a surface plasmon resonance for controlling the process of polymerization of optical adhesives

Abstract

A method based on the phenomenon of surface plasmon resonance for real-time control of the polymerization process of optical adhesives is proposed, as demonstrated by the example of the Akrol-3-360 and UV630 photopolymer adhesives. According to the calculated speed and duration of photopolymerization, the UV630 grade adhesive has a 25% higher polymerization rate and almost twice the polymerization time than the Akrol-3-360 grade adhesive.
