Bio-mass derived photo-initiators and photoacids
Bio-mass derived photo-initiators and photoacids
We have also developed new photo-initiators and photo-acids from biomass to showcase their utility to access high performance materials. In addition, they have superior photochemical and photophysical properties with an added advantage of minimizing our dependence on fossil fuels.
