“…We have attempted to test phenazine derivatives as photosensitizers in radical polymerization, as new dye structures are still being sought because of the high demands placed on photoinitiators in modern applications such as dental filling materials, reprography (photoresists, printing plates, integrated circuits), laser-induced 3D curing, holographic recordings, and nanoscale micromechanics. Modifications of the photosensitizer structure were carried out by introducing heavy atoms and electron-donating or electron-withdrawing substituents to various heterocyclic rings [ 33 , 34 , 35 , 36 , 37 , 38 , 39 , 40 , 41 , 42 , 43 ] or by the preparation of new chemical skeletons. Our strategy for synthesis followed the modification of phenazine structure by increasing either nitrogen atoms to 3 or 4 in the dye molecule or aromatic rings in the angular and/or linear positions.…”
