Can a photoinitiator-added PDMS thermally be cured?

05 July 2021 0 10K Report

Hi everyone,

I'm going to pattern a thick layer (a few millimeters) of photosensitive PDMS using 2-hydroxy-2-methylpropiophenone as a photoinitiator. Without UV irradiation, can the photo-patternable PDMS perfectly be cured only by convection heating in an oven? Does it have similar physical properties to conventional heat-cured PDMS?

Your help is greatly appreciated.
