<p>In one aspect the invention provides an energy efficient polymerization method comprising irradiating a polymerizable composition and a photoinitiator with a source of essentially monochromatic radiation where the photoinitiator and the wavelength of the radiation source are selected such that the extinction coefficient of the photoinitiator at the peak wavelength of the source is greater than about 1000 M-1 cm-1 and such that the photoinitiator absorbs at least two percent of the actinic radiation incident on the coating.In another aspect the invention provides energy efficient methods of polymerizing polymerizable compositions and crosslinking crosslinkable compositions by irradiating the respective compositions with a low power source of essentially monochromatic radiation. The low power energy sources have an input power of less than about 10 W/cm.Articles made from the above methods, including polymer films having release coatings, adhesive coatings, hard coatings and the like thereon, also are provided.</p> |
